Welcome. You have found the Crystal Vault’s Online Guide to Crystal Elixirs and Essences. Here you will discover the benefits to your health and well-being that crystal elixirs and essences can provide. You will also find clear directions for using crystal elixirs and essences effectively. Along the way, we assure you, you will develop an understanding of how they are made while you gain an appreciation for the way they work.

We could use any of the names above and be correct. Gems are simply cut and polished crystals, so we could really use either word – gem or crystal. And the tonics, elixirs, and essences are all essentially water. So any of the terms used above is apt. They are all good. They all describe the same thing: a water-based essence contains crystal energy.
Just for consistency and ease of use, we will use the term “crystal” because there are many more crystals than gems. And while the word “water” or “essence” is probably more technically accurate, we prefer the word “elixir” from the Arabic “al iksic” which translates as “miracle substance.” For as you will learn, they truly are miracle substances.

But, what, by any name, is a crystal elixir?
Well, a crystal elixir is water that carries the essential, specific energy of a donor crystal; but let’s be very precise.
It is very important that we understand exactly what we mean by a Crystal Elixir.
A crystal elixir
is the unique vibratory energy pattern of a crystal
imprinted
into the auric and biophysical energy matrix of water.

The patterns are manifested upon the water’s interaction with a life entity.
While the science of these transfers is yet to be fully understood until the science of quantum physics is matured, the efficacy of crystal elixirs has been accepted by cultures for thousands of years.
The ancient Chinese used elixirs of jade, cinnabar, and hematite for longevity. The famous text “Tan Chin Yao Ch’eh” from about 600 AD discusses the creation of elixirs from mercury, sulfur, and precious stones. The oldest Indian texts speak of elixirs.
Vedic texts dating back as far as 3000 BC speak to their use. In ancient Greece and medieval Europe, powdered gemstones were used to treat a host of ailments. Even today, mineral salts, tinctures, and vitamin compounds assure modern man benefits from the Earth’s bounty of healing energy found in the mineral kingdom.
What is in this Guide
This Guide begins with an exploration of Guide the subtle energies of the gems and crystals used in crystal elixirs. After that discussion, we will gain a deeper appreciation for the most mundane but most magical essence on the planet – water. Next, we shall explore the processes, tools, and understanding necessary to producing effective elixirs.
Then, with the understanding of the crystal energies, the nature of the liquid medium, and the process and variables of their making, we will explore the applications and specific uses of crystal elixirs. Uses such as tonics, adjuncts to healing regimes, bathing, Feng shui, and ritual applications will be explored in detail. Specific recommendations for potency, dosages, and applications will be provided.
So read on. Our journey into the exciting world of crystal elixirs is about to begin.
The Crystals


The molecules of different chemicals within the crystal lattice also contribute to a crystal’s ability to interact with the energies that enter the crystal. Some molecules will cause certain vibratory pathways to exist; other molecules will offer different pathways and harmonics. This is why different minerals with the same crystal lattice structure will provide different energies.

Much of the literature of crystals and most of the information on this website is focused on understanding how the unique combinations of crystal structure, chemical composition, and color affect the specific energies of a particular type of crystal. The book, “The Seven Secrets of Crystal Talismans” covers each of these elements in detail and provides extensive listings of crystal energies based on these primary attributes.

Because we are seeking to capture the true, pure essence of the crystal, it is imperative that we start with a true, pure crystal. We do not want a synthetic crystal, nor do we want one that is contaminated in any way, either physically or spiritually. If you are planning to make your own elixirs, finding authentic, natural crystals is not difficult.

All of the crystal elixirs sold by the Crystal Vaults are made from natural, pure crystals that are cleansed, activated, and charged with the energies of the Universal Life Force. And all of them are made with mature, energized, and pure water.
We now turn to our next component, water. Water is a magical substance. Our earth is mostly covered by water. We humans are mostly water. And to many, water is a living entity. It is the perfect conduit for the healing and maturing energies of crystals.
The Water

As it can absorb sights, smells, tastes, feelings, and emotions, so can water absorb the healing, cleansing, renewing, calming, invigorating, empowering energies of the Mineral Kingdom. All crystals are composed of one or more minerals which are the source of the life force for the Plant and Animal Kingdoms. Water is a part of the natural environment and has a well-known affinity for minerals. Both crystalline minerals and water are essential building blocks of our natural environment – our home – our Earth. So our second ingredient for crystal elixirs is water. But not just any water.


Now there are two schools of thought here that need to be addressed. Many texts and some practitioners recommend using distilled water. We agree that the distillation process can remove the chemicals and impurities from water. We have determined that distilled water can be used successfully if it is allowed a period of calm after the distillation process.
The distillation process heats the water to steam, then collects it by condensation. The use of Fire Energy in the process adds severe stress to the water biophysical energy state which requires time to calm to the point of being able to receive and store the subtle energy patterns of many crystals. Our experiments show that at least one full moon cycle of exposure to moonlight is necessary in most instances. If you are making your own elixirs, use natural spring water collected and stored in glass bottles or distilled water that has been given time to calm with moonlight. Either should work well. We use natural spring water. It is pure, it is clean, and it is not stressed by Fire Energy.
Now we have our two essential elements for producing crystal elixir. We have a cleansed, aligned, charged, and pure crystal, and we have pure water. We are ready to learn how to make an elixir.
Methods of Preparing Crystal Elixirs
There are two primary methods in use today to make crystal elixirs. One is the Direct Method in which the crystal is immersed in the water; and the other is the Indirect Method, in which the water is separated from the crystal by a barrier. Both of these methods are well proven. Both have many approaches and processes that are used by different providers. Let’s look briefly at both of them to get some understanding of what is involved.

BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL IF USING THE DIRECT METHOD, MANY, MANY CRYSTALS ARE TOXIC – PROCEED WITH GREAT CAUTION. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Again, each designer has their own approach to the Indirect Immersion method. The same variables affect the results as affect the Direct Method. In addition, the nature, thickness, and design of the barrier medium will affect the final results obtained.

If your intention is to design and make your own crystal elixirs, we recommend you find a copy of Gem Water: How to Prepare and Use Over 130 Crystal Waters for Therapeutic Treatments by Joachim Goebel and Michael Gienger to begin. As you gain experience, find a copy of Gem Elixirs and Vibratory Healing by Gurudus (both Vol. 1 and Vol. II) These texts will lead you to a true understanding of the methods, and give you an appreciation for the effects of the variables in the process. That depth is beyond the scope of this Guide.
Now that we understand the composition of a crystal elixir, and we know how they are designed and made, the question becomes:
How Do I Use a Crystal Elixir or Essence?
This is our most asked question about elixirs, and it has a long answer. Let’s break it down into a couple of parts:
What purpose can be served by using a crystal elixir?
and,
How do I use a particular crystal elixir for a specific purpose?
In the following sections we will answer these two questions. We shall start by examining the uses of crystal elixirs for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
Using Crystal Elixirs in a Healing Regime

The question of which crystal essence is used for what need is not too difficult. Each of the crystal elixirs we sell has a complete description in its listing that will tell you its uses and applications. If an elixir has a unique dosage or use regime that will also be in the listing. Now be aware those suggested uses are not exhaustive. Like herbs, elixirs can have a wide variety of uses. The most common uses are provided, but everyone is different. Experiment if some just “seem right”. You cannot do harm. For the most part crystal elixirs used in healing regimes are used internally.
Internal use
For internal use, Michael Gienger tells us in Gem Waters that “when a crystal elixir is taken internally, its holistic effects are released on all levels (physical, emotional, and spiritual).” He quite aptly continues, “Getting the dosage right is the most important factor to consider when crystal elixirs are taken internally.”
Many of our clients have confirmed his observation that crystal elixirs taken internally as prescribed can act faster and more effectively than wearing or holding a healing crystal in many cases.
“It is important,” says Debra at Ascended Earth that, “the person ingesting the essences should also state intent when taking them. I advise my customers to do this. For example, if a person is taking Ametrine to open their Third Eye and higher chakras, before taking the drops, they can state their intent by saying something verbally or in their head like, ‘My Third Eye is open now, and so it is.’ The energy of this intent, stated in the present tense, is then imprinted on the dosage and the desired outcome is manifested more quickly. It has been proven by Masaru Emoto that water can change shape due to certain verbal vibrations. The essences work the same way; they are imprintable. By the person taking the essences becoming an active participant in their own healing via intent, healing processes are magnified.”
Our research suggests following certain guidelines for internal consumption of crystal elixirs as a part of a healing regime.
For use as an elixir, we differentiate three categories of crystals: High Energy Crystals, Normal Energy Crystals, and Calming Crystals. These categories are based on the intensity of the crystals’ natural vibrations and the effects of the vibrations on living organisms. In general you will find that warm colored crystals have a higher vibratory state than cooler colored ones.
While we try to assure every elixir is clearly described to include its intensity rating, if you are unsure, the closer to the red end of the color spectrum, the higher the intensity. The closer to the violet end, the lower its intensity. This is a general rule. Vibrancy of color, chemical composition, and the external structure of a particular crystal can affect its vibratory intensity. Please check our individual crystal elixir listings for details.
Elixirs can be ingested in primarily two ways. It is a personal choice. Many elixir makers recommend that the prescribed number of drops be taken directly under the tongue. This puts the essence in the body sublingually, so it is immediately absorbed, and does not go through thedigestive tract. Many practitioners feel the effects are more powerful and beneficial this way.
The second way is to mix the elixir in a small amount of water. In the table below we suggest using 20 ml. It means 20 milliliters. That is about one tablespoon.. (You can put the tablespoon of elixir and water into a larger drink if you like; you don’t have to drink from the spoon if that is awkward for you.)
| Type of Crystal | Mixture | Period |
|---|---|---|
| High Energy Crystals | 4 drops per 20 ml | 2 doses daily 7-14 days |
| Normal Energy Crystals | 3-4 drops per 20 ml | 3-4 doses daily up to 30 days |
| Calming Crystals | 6-8 drops per 20 ml | 3-4 doses daily as needed |
High Energy Crystals: For extended use, take a 7 day break every two weeks.
Normal Energy Crystals: For extended use take a 7 day rest between each 30 days.
Calming Crystals: Not for extended use. Limit to every other day.
Important Note: While we have found no books or other guides discussing the temperature of the elixir, we have found that if the elixir is taken directly under the tongue, then the elixir can be room temperature. However, if you are going to mix the elixir in water, we believe the elixir and the water in which it is diluted should be very cold if you are not going to drink it immediately. You want the crystal energy to be released inside the digestive tract as the liquid warms, not in the drinking water where it can, over time, dissipate or become affected by other energies if not immediately consumed.
Crystal Elixir Internal Dosages for Pets

We suggest mixing 1-2 drops to a cup of water to start. Adjust the proportion as necessary up to a maximum of 8 -10 drops to a cup over a 3-4 week period. Should that provide little effect, then the animal is not receptive to that particular crystal energy and a different elixir should be used.
External use of Crystal Elixirs

In addition crystal elixirs can be applied externally to the body to target certain imbalances and diseases. The energy patterns will be transferred from the elixir to the skin and into the body. This is a good regime for chakra balancing in particular. For most applications the mixture should be stronger than the mixture for internal use. Use the following guide
High Energy Crystals: 6 -8 drops per 20 ml2 applications daily
Normal Energy Crystals: 8-10 drops per 20 mlSingle application as needed
Calming Crystals: 10 drops per 20 mlSingle application as needed, limit to occasional use.
Administering crystal elixirs externally can be done easily using a small spray bottle. This allows for excellent control over the dosage, ease of application, and the ability to both target a small area or to treat a large area.
In summary, crystal elixirs are a well researched and effective method of gaining the real benefits of crystal therapy. They are easily used, come with clear instructions and are safe for people and pets. Dosages are easy to control, and the elixirs have very long shelf lives. You will find you can gain the benefits of crystal therapy easily, and often at less expense using elixirs. You will also find that you can easily help others with elixirs even without the training that many crystal healing regimes require.
Crystal Elixir External Use on Pets

Do not over spray. An animal’s coat should not be wet. A quick spritz from a distance of about 6 -10 inches on each side of an animal is sufficient. Animals seem to respond with more sensitivity to most elixirs, so a reduced amount can be used.
Crystal Elixir Use on Plants

Elixirs can also be administered to plants during watering. Because the roots are more receptive, a very diluted mixture will be effective for most applications. We suggest 1 drop to 40 ml for maintenance up to 2 – 3 drops per 40 ml for dealing with stress from disease, environment, or pests.
Using Crystal Elixirs as Tonics
You do not need to have physical, emotional, or spiritual issues to benefit from the energies of crystals potentialized in an elixir. Many elixirs are excellent for use to maintain a healthy balance and free flow of Life Energy. We learn more each day about the need for maintaining good health. Periodic use of crystal elixirs can be a great adjunct to regular exercise, good spirits, and good nutrition. As Randell and Vicki Baer taught in their 1984 seminal work “Windows of Light,” “drinking crystal water on a regular basis will gradually increase the vibrational quality of every cell… and as a result the entire auric system is vibrationally upgraded.”

The Calming crystals are also useful for the occasional “I need a rest” use. But for long term maintenance of a healthy energy flow, the Normal Energy crystals are most suitable.
The most effective regime is one of regular use. It allows for the subtle energies to be constantly refreshed. Most users have experimented and come to find that once or twice daily use is the optimum schedule. The potion amount seems to be of less importance than the regularity of the use. So pick a time that is convenient, and try to be regular in your habit.
The mixtures for crystal elixir tonics are more diluted than for healing uses. In general most crystal elixir tonics are a mixture of 1-2 drops per 20ml. For some crystals, dosages half that ratio have had good effects. Again, each listing will provide details of an elixir’s use as a tonic.
Using Crystal Elixirs in the Bath
Crystal elixirs can be added to bath water when used as either a part of a crystal healing regime or as a tonic to preserve vibrant health.
Bathing in water that contains the focused energy of a crystal or combination of crystals can be an excellent method to infuse your body with the Life Force that keeps our bodies and spirits alive and healthy.

We suggest that for High Energy crystal elixirs 3-4 drops to a normal tub of water should be sufficient for a 10-20 minute bath. Adjust for longer or shorter times.
For Normal Energy crystals, 6 – 8 drops per tub should be adequate for the same 10-20 minute bath.
The use of soothing Calming Energy crystals is particularly recommended for bathing. Calming crystal energies when infused in warm bath water in an appropriately soothing setting can bring lasting relief to a host of physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments.
Similar in effects to several herbal and flower essences, the soothing energy crystal elixirs can amplify the calming and relaxing experience.
These elixirs can be even further diluted than the others. Because relaxation baths are usually longer in duration, and generally have less physical movement, the water has more time in contact with the body.
We find that only 1 – 2 drops are really needed. And at such a diluted mixture, there is no restriction on frequency of use.
Using Crystal Elixirs to Clear Negative Energy

While treating the area with the appropriate crystal is always an option, crystal elixirs are also an excellent remedy.
For clearing spaces of negativity, elixirs should be administered with spray bottles. There are three primary methods that are proven effective.

Use High Energy crystal elixirs. Put the mixture in a spray bottle and go to a point just inside the entrance and face the wall to the right.
Standing in that location be very firm in your intention, announce in very stern tones exactly what you want changed and spray the ai, high and low, every few feet moving around the room back to the entrance.
Open all doors and windows if possible. Allow the negativity an escape route. Depending on the size of the space and the degree of negativity, one or two repetitions may be needed.

Slowly walk in an expanding circle spraying the air every few seconds repeating your intention with each spray. This is a more potent clearing method if a focus of negativity is in a space.
As in the Circuit, open doors and windows, if possible. Repetitions are usually not needed.
You may well need more elixir for this method for larger spaces.

Announce your intention with each spray. Depending on the size of the space, a full 20mm dosage should be sufficient for most uses. Adjust time and dosage as necessary.

Using Crystal Elixirs for Feng Shui
Crystals and Crystal Elixirs are very useful in providing for the free flow of t
The free flow of natural, life nurturing energy within a dwelling, workspace, or room is essential to the health and well-being of the occupants. The teachings of the various schools of Feng Shui provide a solid foundation for assuring the flow of this energy. They also provide extensive guidance for assuring we are living in harmony with our environment.
Crystal Elixirs can be powerful tools in the practice of Feng Shui. Sometimes, even with the best efforts to design and integrate a space with the environment, problem areas develop. You may find pockets of staleness, corners of lethargy, or cubbyholes of foreboding. These can be dealt with with flowers, water, crystals, or other tools. If a crystal seems to be needed,but the right one is too expensive or just won’t fit the space, an elixir will work well. It will bring the energy pattern of the crystal to the space.
As in the section on removing energy, using elixirs for Feng Shui is best accomplished with a spray bottle. For most uses, mix 4 – 6 drops to 20 ml water. Spray the area early in the morning each day. For small areas, four or five pumps of spray will suffice for a day. Normal Energy crystal elixirs work best, and are recommended.
Using Crystal Elixirs on Devotional Altars


The section of this website devoted to Angelic Crystals and Guardian Angel Crystals provide references to the colors of crystals to be used in facilitating communication with Angels. Using the elixir of a crystal of the preferred color will work well on an altar.
To use any crystal elixir on an altar, mix 4 drops in 20 ml water. You can either use an eye dropper to apply the elixir to locations in which a crystal would be used, or a spray bottle to put the crystal essence over a larger portion of the altar. If you have a particular arrangement of crystals and their energies in mind, use the eye dropper. If you are just seeking the focusing of the crystal’s energy, the spray will work best.
Conclusion
This guide is not meant to be all-inclusive. It is an introduction to the uses of Crystal Elixirs. It is not the destination; it is a launch point.
Use what you learn here as the basis for your journey of exploration. Whatever name you use, crystal elixirs can be a wonderful way to bring the magic and wonder of crystal energy into your life. They can be an important element in vibratory healing, serve as tonics to preserve health, clear negativity and maintain a healthy flow of the Universal Life Force where you live and work. They can provide the energies needed in devotions and ceremonies when appropriate crystals are not available.
Feel free to modify and experiment with the recommendations of this guide. Remember – it is only a guide. You must find your own path in life, and you must find your own path in the use of Crystal Elixirs. We wish you good health. Enjoy!
