                STONES, ELIXERS, & WHAT DOESNT 
                  MAKE A GOOD ELIXIR
                  By MizzMo
                Crystal 
                  and Gemstone Elixirs for External Use Only 
                One of the most powerful ways of 
                  absorbing crystal vibrations is by the use of gem remedies, 
                  or elixers. Purpose made ones can be bought, but you can make 
                  your own. Vibrational Medicines Because crystals have such powerful 
                  vibrations they are ideal for making an energy medicine that 
                  works on the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Water takes on 
                  the vibrational pattern of a substance placed within it, then 
                  passes it by absorbing it through the skin. Using Gem Elixirs 
                  You can use gem elixirs by rubbing it on the skin, or simply 
                  by adding it to your bath. You can make it, and store it up 
                  to a week in the refrigerator, and is always best, when freshly 
                  made. You can use most tumbled stones, with the exception of 
                  malachite. 
                Malachite is a toxic crystal. And 
                  should NEVER EVER be used 
                  internally or externally. 
                Other stones such as kyanite, and 
                  other un-tumbled stones should not be used as they can fall 
                  apart and break away when wet.
                 (disclaimer 
                  by MizzMo: I do NOT recommend using gem elixers for internal 
                  use at all)
                Making the Elixir You can use 50% 
                  brandy or vodka as a preservative, this will keep the elixir 
                  active much longer. Then add the other 50% as water. Using darker 
                  colored bottles is best, but clear works fine too. Always cleanse 
                  your stones before you use them in the elixir. Find the crystal 
                  that you wish to use for the treatment you have in mind. Pour 
                  fresh spring water, or bottled water into a bowl. Do not use 
                  tap water as most water facilities add chlorine to the drinking 
                  water. Place your desired tumbled stone in the bowl and place 
                  in sunlight for at least 12 hours. Remove stone before packaging. 
                  Then put the elixir in an preferably dark glass bottle, add 
                  the vodka or brandy if you wish to keep longer than a week. 
                  Use an airtight stopper to seal. Store the elixir in a cold, 
                  dark area, or refrigerate, label it with the date prepared, 
                  and what its intention is for.
                  You can use these and add to 
                  your bath water, and you can make smaller dosage bottle for 
                  gifts.

                Watermelon Tourmaline: For those 
                  who have a tendency to believe something is already real even 
                  though its only a possibility. Helps balance the universal 
                  polarities of Yin and Yang. Gives us equality between the magnetic 
                  and dynamic (giving and receiving) qualities of love. As well 
                  as brings the green, physical, earth frequency into harmony 
                  with the pink, spiritual, angelic frequency of love. 
                 
                This is a list of crystals which 
                  are NOT suited for elixirs etc.
                  Before you put any stone in contact with skin or gem elixir 
                  you should make sure that it is safe to do so. This is only 
                  a few of the stones that should not 
                  be used on your skin and never ever ingested . Many 
                  of these are copper-containing minerals (copper is toxic to 
                  our bodies), but there are also others for instance, rocks that 
                  contain Lead or Arsenic, Cadmium, Aluminum, Barium or Mercury. 
                  (There are a lot of other stones and substances that should 
                  not be put in water to drink these are just some of them (not 
                  kidding!)). 
                Amazonite - use with caution, the 
                  color is a result of traces of copper, which is toxic) 
                  Atacamite - poisonous (copper) 
                  
                  Auricalcite - Poisonous (zinc 
                  and copper) 
                  Azurite - poisonous (copper)
                  Boji-stones - unfit - (contains some sulphur) There is some 
                  secrecy re it's contents - which means you really should not 
                  drink it. (Would you take a pill you did not know the contents 
                  of?) 
                  Bronchantite - unfit and poisonous 
                  (copper)
                 Chalcantite- (AKA "blue @#%$") 
                  - poisonous (copper) 
                  Chalcopyrite- (peacock stone) - poisonous 
                  (copper and sulphur)
                  Cinnabar - poisonous (mercury/quicksilver)
                  Conicalcite - poisonous 
                  (copper) 
                  Copper - poisonous 
                  Crysocolla- (AKA Venus-stone) - poisonous 
                  (copper)

                Dioptase - poisonous 
                  (copper)
                 Gem Silica - poisonous 
                  (copper)
                  Galena/ Galenite - poisonous (almost 
                  90 percent lead),
                  Garnierite- (AKA Genthite/ Falcondoite) - Contains nickel 
                Halite - will dissolve in water,
                  Hematite - will rust
                 Lapis Lazuli - poisonous 
                  (the pyrite inclusions, that is.)
                 Magnetite - unfit (Iron, will rust) 
                  
                  Malachite : For those trying too hard to control their reality. 
                  Helps in grounding, helps align and harmonize the physical, 
                  emotional, mental, and spiritual levels of our own being. ( 
                  Never soak this stone in water to make the elixir ) 
                  Markasite - poisonous (sulphur) 
                  (marcasite has the same chemical make-up as pyrite)
                  Mohawkite - poisonous (copper, 
                   ARSENIC etc.)(Keep 
                  away from children!)
                 Psiomelan - poisonous 
                  (barium) 
                  Pyrite- (AKA fool's gold; Inca-gold) - 
                  poisonous (sulphur)
                 Realgar - 
                  poisonous (sulphur and ARSENIC) (Keep 
                  away from children!) 
                Stibnite- (has Lead)
                  Smithsonite (AKA Galmei/Zinc spar)- 
                  poisonous (zinc (may also contain copper))
                 Ulexite - The rock will lose its 
                  luster when in contact with water
                 Vanadanite - Poisonous 
                  (lead)
                Wulfenite - 
                  Poisonous (lead and molybdenum) 
                The general rule is: Avoid making 
                  elixirs and massage oils of any stone/ mineral/ crystals containing 
                  any kind of metal (lead, copper etc.) 
                  Never Ever make or use gem elixirs for internal use. 
                  If you don't know the chemical make-up of the kind of rock you 
                  have - avoid any blue or green stone, because most of the blue 
                  and green stones get their color from its copper contents. (Especially 
                  the bright colored ones.) Also avoid any shiny, metal-like stone, 
                  because most metals are toxic to humans.
                I may have to update that list for 
                  metalic stones, I don't see malachite on the list, and I know 
                  that ones a no-no to use in an elixir. I've had this list 
                  since the old Shaman Sapience days.
                Minna:
                  This is 
                  great, Mizz! Thank you so much for this. You did mention that 
                  a person shouldn't ingest malachite up at the top of your article. 
                  A question - the two lists seem to be gems you can use externally. 
                  You noted on this first list that you could use these for bath 
                  and / or externally. The second list says - do not ingest these. 
                  Did I miss it or can you use some of those in the first, long 
                  list internally also? Ok - silliness, but I am sooo ready for 
                  a diamond and vodka cocktail - can I add some lime, and maybe 
                  tonic water? No, probably not the tonic water, huh. Thank you 
                  again
                MizzMo:
                  I believe 
                  the first list you can use internally, but I think what happened 
                  and why its not listed as such, is at the other board, 
                  it was felt that I shouldn't post them for internal use, so 
                  took that part out. Lets see what the admin thinks about 
                  this. Lol, diamond vodka? Thats funny. I'm on ice water 
                  today, had toooo much fun yesterday.
                WalksWith:
                  Excellent 
                  Info Mizz. For anyone interested, just remember common-sense 
                  if you decide to take ANY gem essence or elixir internally. 
                  Many aren't suitable for internal use. Essences and Elixirs 
                  also work better with your energy especially on/around pulse 
                  points rather than trying to work through your body mass. Apply 
                  it as you would perfume or aftershave or put some on your fingers 
                  and "wave" it through your aura. You can also put 
                  it in a spray bottle and mist it over yourself.
