In the midst of a fascinating plot—involving crystal mines, hope, passion, ambition, and pain—lie exciting parallels between Biblical passages and science. A young woman is guided to an exotic region of Brazil and receives these revelations from a mysterious source. For her, the experience is at once exciting and painful, and it ultimately enables her to resolve the conflict she feels exists between religion and science.

    The story takes place on the very farm owned by the author, and the book’s map indicating the locations of crystal mines is real. In addition to images, the book contains boxes featuring detailed technical information that pertains to the content of the story and that may enhance the understanding of some readers.

    The novel’s plot is based on the author`s own experience as a crystal miner and on stories told about the farm by its oldest owners. This truth is filtered through the creative lens of the author to create a kind of mystical science-fiction.
