What is the proper way to make a gem elixir?

Question

Where would it then be stored?

Answer 1

Your freaking awesome! i LOVE crystal healing. Let me go get my crystal book......

Place a cleansed, nonfriable crystal in a glass bowl with spring water. Stand the bowl in sunlight for twelve hours. Remove the crystal and bottle the mother tincture in a glass bottle with an airtight stopper. To keep for more than a week, add fifty percent brandy or vodka as a preservative. Store in a cool, dark place. Add to bathwater or make a dosage bottle.

Answer 2

Jared H gave a really good example of how to do it that, but I would like to add to his comments.

the first is to be sure to research the crystal/ gem you are intending on using. The reason is some (such as opals) cannot be submerged in water. Others (such as malachite) have poisonous dust if ingested.

So its really important for your own health to be extra extra cautious. Even look up in geological books in addition to healing books for full information.

By the way,  I agree -the Crystal Bible is a great book to start.

I hope that helps. :)
