Guest guest Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hey folks, Is there a good single resource (book or website) for reliable info on stones that *shouldn't* come in contact with water for essences, either because of toxicity or solubility? Specifically, I'm wondering about: - aegerine - apophylite - astrophylite - bismuth - black tourmaline - cavansite - celestite - dravite (brown tourmaline) - hematite - pyrite - septarian nodule - shiva lingam I've researched these as well as I can, but I never found a single source of this information. -Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Hi, I teach Gem Elixirs and Vibrational Healing...preparing elixirs based on your Tibetan Health Chart. While there is certainly caution about soft stones that could powder of flake, like azurite and malachite, most stones are safe. The harder they are the safer they are. On your list below I know that Black Tourmaline, celestite, hematite in a solid hard form like the tumbled stone, Dravite and Shiva Lingham are all completely safe. I make elixirs from there frequently. The other thing to know is that when you make elixirs you take your drops from the top half of the bowl with brandy and stone also known as stock or mother. If there was any sediment it would settle at the bottom. I have never experienced sediment except one time when I made an elixir from a sulfer crystal and I really should have not. sulfer is not toxic....but can release and purge the liver intensly. Septarian nodule has mud holding it together so they would not do well. Pyrite can work as well.....be sure it is hard, but it usually is. Bismuth is man made and too soft so I would not use this one. and I do not know astrophylite ( may have a new age new name as in our field things are frequently renamed to sound somewhat cosmic...it makes the geologists nuts) or aegerite. From a vibrational standpoint there are no comprehensive studies that have been donw to determine the effectiveness of making elixirs by placing the stone next to the brandy water. So I remain the skeptic becuase you do not have the brandy holding the vibration or the water for that matter. Hope this helps...be blessed, Dawn Silver Jewels of the Lotus Tibetan Gemstone Oracle ps I give a chapter to this in my book and oracle as does Gurudas in his book Gem Elixirs. Alwyas use distilled water. I have seen mention in other popular books that have said spring water but to me that makes absolutely no sense as there are minerals in spring water that may create different reactions to the minerals in the stones you are using. egomagickian <listservs wrote: Hey folks, Is there a good single resource (book or website) for reliable info on stones that *shouldn't* come in contact with water for essences, either because of toxicity or solubility?
