Gem Elixir question from a newbie :)

[Guest guest]

hello!

I recently finished creating a quartz elixir. I used 1 oz bottles,

filling them 1/3 with brandy, 2/3's with water and using 10 drops of

the mother elixir. I'm wondering if they should have such an intense

alcohol taste to it? Is it ok to use less brandy in the making of the

stock bottles, how much would the self life of the elxir be lessened?

Thank you so much! and I am so happy to have found this group, I have

been working with crystals for many years and have just started

creating gem elixirs for clients, it is a wonderful and very joyous

shift for me!

you can use vegetable glycerin or apple cider vinegar

as a preservative.

HI Erika,

Dawn Silver here. I would use that much brandy only in making the stock

bottle and then just fill with distilled water to create the offshoot. That, in

my opinion is farore brandy than is needed. For the mother elixir I even use

more like a sixth.

Take care,

Dawn

Hi Neil,

 

I was actually thinking of using glycerin originally, but didn't know if

shortening the shelf life of the elixir would be the best? I think after making

this last stock though I might try it out.

Thank you so much for responding

Aloha! Glycerine is often used increating herbal tincures by those who are

alcohol sensitive, but alcohol is considered to draw out a deeper level of the

constituents with healing properties. Don't know if this true with stones also.

Hi Skye,

 

Do you think I should make the ratio of water to alcohol smaller as Dawn

suggested? Maybe from 1/3 to 1/6?

Thank you so much everyone for helping me with this! I'm so happy to have found

this group!

warmly,

Erica

energy is energy. it is either there or it is not.

your presevative adds its own energy to the mix.

alcohol is more a toxin to the body.

Just an FYI....there is more alcohol circulating in your body at any given

moment than could ever be present in a gem elixir. I feel that the harm from

alcohol in a tincture is more important for one with an addiction to the

substance to avoid as it triggers the need and the memory. But in reality there

is not enough present to make a showing. I forgot the exact showing but there

is atleast around 20 times more present in the body than an average dose of at

any given moment.

Teaching in the Carribean right at this moment. When I slow down I will see

what an exact amount might be.

So don't worry be happy.

Aloha Erica! I do not know the ratios that should be used. When I made

tinctures in the past I used a formula that I no longer have, but know they are

probably available or on line in many herb and health food stores. Alcohol is

preferred by many herbalist as it extracts more of the potent ingredients from

the herbs. When taken the drops are put in water and the alcohol allowed to

dissipate so little or none is consumed. When making tinctures for clients I

used a pendulum to determine if the formula was correct to the client, for the

purposes intended and for the highest good of all being. I also used it to

determine the correct number of drops to be taken and how many times a day.

Other polarity methods can also be used.

 

Spirit Quartz as I know it is an Amethyst Point or cluster of them covered

with a drusey of Amethyst. Drusey looks like a blanketing or sprinkling of dust

that on inspection with a magnifying glass, one can see is a collection of

amethyst crystals with each of the six sides of their point visible. Color

ranges from a pale lavender that is almost white to a very deep purple. Some

pieces have a rust coating in places that I am told is hematite. Technically

any stone would not be called and Aqua Aura unless it had been treated using the

process deribed below where the Quartz or other mineral was placed it in a

vacuum with Gold. Spirit Quartz and Aqua Aura are two separate things.

Although i have never seen a piece, it is conceivable that someone would treat a

piece of Spirit Quatz in manner. Blessings to All! In Light. . .Skye
