Gemstone Water (also Crystal Water or Gemstone Elixir) is water that is said to be energetically changed through contact with or proximity to gemstones and crystals. The theory behind it: every gemstone possesses a characteristic crystal structure and vibrational frequency that can be transferred to water – a medium particularly receptive to information.
The idea of gemstone water has a long history: Hildegard of Bingen (12th century) already described placing gemstones in water as a healing method. In modern gemstone therapy, stones are either placed directly in water (direct method) or arranged outside a vessel (indirect method, recommended for toxic stones). Popular gemstones for water preparations are rose quartz (love, gentleness), amethyst (calming, clarity) and rock crystal (purification, energy).
Note: Not all stones are suitable for direct contact with water (e.g. malachite, pyrite). When in doubt, use the indirect method.
