What is a Gem Elixir?
Well, I’m glad you asked! Crystals have a vibration and don’t laugh but years of working with them has shown me they have consciousness and and and seriously, don’t laugh but they have their own personalities too. I know you’re rolling your eyes at me. I know I just said a rock has consciousness and a personality. When I buy a new crystal I like to get to know it. So I’ll put it under my pillow and I’ll wear it exclusively on my body. There are countless times a crystal has started to beep under my pillow if I sleep in. They’re mean! 😛 I just want to sleep in and they beep to wake me up. When I first started working with clients I would ask each of my crystals if they wanted to work with ___ client. I would use my pendulum to tell me the answer. My lapis lazuli said NO! I thought it was just this one client but then it said no with every client. When I felt into it’s energy it was the saddest grumpiest crystal ever. Which really means, it needs a deep cleansing and maybe buried again in the earth forever but I haven’t been able to fully let go of it yet.How Does the Gem Elixir Work?
The amethyst gem elixir raised his vibration. The vibration of his immune system was higher. Fleas only want a pet with a weak immune system. Naturally, I started faithfully drinking the elixir too 😛 I need to warn you! Don’t drink a gem elixir for the first time if you need to drive or be doing something important. I have made gem elixirs for myself with different crystals that have made me very dizzy because my vibration was so different than the vibration I was trying to attune myself to.What’s Special About An Amethyst Crystal?
Amethyst is known in the crystal healing world for calming your mind. It is a 3rd eye chakra crystal. It is believed to increase your immune system, help with hormones, increase digestion… and so much more. Spiritually you can use it to find the root cause behind behaviours you want to stop. It’s great for helping to overcome addictions (with the help of a professional of course). It is believed to help with ADD, obsessive compulsive disorder and hyperactivity.Indirect or Direct Gem Elixir?
Indirect Method means the crystal you are using is not directly touching the water. Like in the recipe below, the crystal is taped to the outside of the bottle. I only ever use the indirect method because it takes the guesswork out of wondering if the crystal is toxic. Direct Method means you place the crystal directly in the container with the water. This can be dangerous because there are lots of toxic crystals. The crystal can be dirty so any dirt will get into the water.Amethyst Gem Elixir Recipe
Materials: 1 small amethyst crystal (about the size of a $0.25 cent quarter) 1 glass bottle Water TapeHow to Make a Gem Elixir
- Take your amethyst crystal and energetically cleanse it. My favourite way to cleanse is to use a smokeless smudge spray (like this one). You spray the crystal with the smokeless smudge spray once or twice and it should be cleansed. You can also use sage smudge stick (like this) and light the sage and place the crystal over the smoke to cleanse it. Do this for a few minutes. The third easiest way to cleanse a crystal is running it under water. Set the intention to cleanse and then turn on the tap and place the crystal under the running water for at least a minute or until you get the intuitive hit the crystal is cleansed. If you are sensitive to energy you will feel the energy go from dense to light.
- Now hold your crystal and set your intention for what you want the crystal to do. When I use this amethyst gem elixir for my cat I am always trying to boost his immune system so I set that intention.
- Tape your crystal to the side of the bottle.
- Fill with water suitable for drinking.
- Leave the amethyst gem elixir for the day so the water can take on the vibes and intention of the crystal.
- To use, pour about a tablespoon amount into your water or your pet’s water once a day. You can always drink more if you want to. If you are using it for your pet one tablespoon once a day in their water is enough.
- Energetically cleanse the crystal at least once a week.

Can I buy a Gemstone Water Bottle instead of making one?
Yes, you can! They are becoming really trendy because they are so pretty. Amethyst is such a common crystal that it’s easy to find one. If you are going to buy one, I recommend getting one where the crystal is separated by glass for sanitary reasons and bonus if the crystal is removeable so you can switch the crystal and create other gem elixirs. Here’s one on Amazon that meets all of my qualifications. You can drink from it daily to benefit from the crystal’s vibrations. You can either buy a gemstone water bottle to create a gem elixir or create one using the diy crystal water bottle tutorial above. You will get the same results.More DIY Personal Care Items
