What is a Gem Elixir?

There are thousands of different homeopathic cures available.  They range from aura healing, to chakra rebalancing, to crystal therapy. Gem elixirs are an offshoot of crystal therapy and can be used in conjunction with almost any other natural remedy. Gem elixirs harness the crystal power and vibration in a solution that can then be ingested or applied topically.

Making a gem elixir only requires a few basic steps.  The first thing you will want to do is consult any relevant texts to find out exactly what gem stones you need for the elixir. Be sure to choose stones that have been cut and polished.

Be careful when choosing stones, some may contain traces of heavy metals such as lead and mercury. They can be toxic. If you aren’t sure about what you are doing stick with using strictly quartz based gem stones. 

To harness the gem stone’s power you need to first calm your mind and block out any mental and physical abstractions.

  • Use tongs or a spoon to place the stone into a bowl full of spring water. 
  • Now take the bowl and place it where it can sit in direct sunlight for 3-6 hours. 

The sun will activate the crystal and transfer some of the energy from the stone into the water. 

  • Once the water is charged remove the stone with the tongs. 
  • Slowly pour the charged water into a dark glass container such as a sanitized brown beer bottle. 

Next you need to fix the solution to keep it from decaying. Mix an equal amount of neutral spirits such as gin or vodka with the elixir. 

That’s all there is to creating a gem elixir. It’s a safe non toxic remedy that can work well with other traditional therapies. The elixir can be taken sublingually or rubbed into a chakra point, sprayed into the aura or even added to bathwater. Use it however it works best for you.

The Healing Power of Crystals -A Guide to Tektite

TektiteTektites are an amazing type of mineral. They are formed in one of the most violent events possible, a meteor or comet impact with the earth. What happens is that when an asteroid hits the earth it instantly heats and melts the rock surrounding the impact site. This liquid rock is then blown into the air by the force of the explosion.  As it travels thousands of feet up through the atmosphere the molten rock begins to cool. Since it’s essentially in free fall they form into spherical or tear drop shaped globules.  Because the explosion was so powerful these minerals can be tossed up to thousands of miles away from the initial meteor impact site.

Tektites typically have a translucent brownish glass look to them. They can appear similar to obsidian in that they are smooth but the chemical structure is entirely different.

Tektites are commonly found throughout Indochina and Australia. As a gem they have minimal value unless you find the rarer moldovite which has a more green hue to them.

Since these minerals were formed through cataclysmic forces they are thought to have an unusual amount of power to them. They are often associated with fire and earth energy.

When it comes to spiritual uses these stones help to bring strength to a person when it comes to balance and trust issues with others and even can help to improve communicative efforts. They are also used to help with weak blood like anemia and even some forms of mild depression like melancholy. 

To sum it all up tektites are powerful stones formed by the dynamic confluence or earth and sky. When these two essential elements mix together they form a powerful stone that has some of the best properties of earth. They’re forged in fire and a great choice to use in any crystal healing methodology.

It should be noted that the different colors of garnet are associated with different bodily areas and healing practices. This is just a brief guide to garnet.

How to Care for Your Crystals

There are all sorts of ways to take care of crystals.  Unfortunately over the years a lot of bad advice has come out that can cause more harm than good. Since we all want our crystals to be pure and charged let’s look at a few ways to cleanse, purify and care for them and some of the no no’s as well.

Sea salt has long been considered one of the best ways to cleanse, purify and recharge a crystal. While it can work, there are some risks associated with it. Salt itself has a crystalline structure. This means that you run the risk of scratching a particularly soft crystal.

The same goes for spring water or sea water. Some crystals are water soluble this means they can erode or soak up the water. This can make the crystal dissolve, think of placing a sugar cube in a glass of water.

Even sunlight can be damaging. The sun has a natural bleaching effect this means that darker colored stones may fade over time if left exposed to direct sunlight.

Here are a few safer ways to care for your crystals:

Burying your crystal in earth is a good way to ground and center it. Use soft dirt like a potting soil that you’ve spread out to dry for a few days. Then bury the crystal in a clay flower pot.

Use moonlight instead of sunlight. You get the same energy but without the risk of bleaching. Just leave the crystal sitting exposed on a full moonlight and it’s ready for use.

To store your crystals it’s a good idea to wrap them individually in a soft cloth like velvet. This will keep them from clinking together and possibly chipping.

These are just a few of the do’s and don’ts of crystal care. The best way to know what works best is to study and learn about each individual crystal’s properties. You’ll be able to adapt your rituals and storage to exactly fit the needs of the stone.
