Crystal Elixir: Complete Guide to Gem Water & Crystal-Infused Healing

By Nicole, Founder of Mystic Ryst

Crystal elixirs (also called gem water or crystal-infused water) are water charged with crystal energy for healing, manifestation, and wellbeing. When you infuse water with crystals, the water absorbs the crystal's vibrational properties, creating a drinkable healing potion.

Crystal elixirs have been used for thousands of years in ancient healing traditions. Drinking crystal-infused water is a beautiful way to work with crystal energy from the inside out.

This is your complete guide to crystal elixirs—what they are, how to make them safely, and which crystals to use.

What Is a Crystal Elixir?

A crystal elixir is water that has been infused with crystal energy, either by placing crystals directly in water or using the indirect method.

How Crystal Elixirs Work

• Water is highly receptive to energy
• Crystals transfer their vibration to water
• You drink the crystal's healing properties
• Works from inside your body

SAFETY FIRST: Toxic Crystals

NEVER put these crystals in water (toxic!):

• Malachite (copper)
• Pyrite (sulfur)
• Selenite (dissolves)
• Turquoise (copper)
• Azurite (copper)
• Cinnabar (mercury)
• Galena (lead)
• Any crystal ending in "-ite" (research first!)
