How do I make an Elixir?

While most crystals are NOT harmfulThe following list is not a comprehensive list of toxic crystals.

The Generator

Crystal generators have a distinctive geometric shape, with a flat base and pointed six-faceted tip. The sides are not always carved, and the tip is believed to concentrate and amplify energy. They are usually made from quartz but are also carved from other minerals. They make beautiful ornaments and are popular for their metaphysical attributes and ambient energies. Energy workers and metaphysicians use them for healing, gridding, or meditation. In grid and healing work, energy is believed to enter through the base and out through the point directly to the area requiring an energy 'boost'.

The Obelisk

The obelisk typically has four equal sides that taper upwards to the point, which is generally four-sided. It is carved to a flat base and is ideal for standing (stable form). Depending on its size, it can also be used for meditation or as part of a healing grid. It can be used as an ornament and will emit ambient energy associated with its inherent crystal attributes.

Cubes

A cube is a naturally formed crystal shape growing upon a host rock. The perfectly formed square is more rare (although not rare), making it popular with collectors as specimens. For metaphysicians, cubes are believed to offer grounding, sometimes protection, and benefits when meditating. Often, the cube is removed from the host rock for ease of use when holding. They can also be placed as ornaments in the environment for ambient energy dispersion. Care should be taken with your cubes, especially cube clusters, as depending on the cube type, they may be adversely affected by exposure to air and must be in a display cabinet.

Slices

Mineral slices are slices of a bigger 'rock' that have usually been sliced and then polished on both 'faces' to enhance the colour and appearance of any of the crystals' unique details, such as stripes. They tend to be more popular with specimen collectors than crystal enthusiasts; however, they allow enthusiasts to collect without worrying about freight costs if they have to order it from overseas. Enthusiasts believe the slices emit ambient energy within the environment where they are placed, and some people will meditate with the slices.

Tumbled Cubes

Tumbled cubes are not naturally formed and have been processed with cuts from a bigger rock to be square and then polished to remove the rough edges. They are popular as chakra balancing sets or for meditation.

Tumbled Stones

Tumbled stones or crystals are the smaller part of a larger mineral, unsuitable for carving and often not considered suitable for jewellery making. They are usually the leftover pieces of a bigger carving, set aside to sell as tumbled, although in some instances, they are mined with the intention of tumbling. Usually, we consider tumbled and polished stones smaller stones (less than 3cm or less) that hold no value to collectors but are considered valuable to metaphysicians, as chakra balancers, or for making crystal elixirs. Larger Tumbled stones are what is called 'freeform shapes'. (CAUTION: Some crystals contain toxic minerals and are unsuitable for ingestion, prohibiting them from being used as an elixir. Other crystals are not suitable for water immersion. See our section on "Toxic Crystals".)

Free Form

A druzy is a naturally occurring phenomenon in which tiny crystals form and appear as a sparkling layer on the surface of a larger rock or mineral. They are densely packed and give a shimmering or sparkling effect.. They commonly occur on quartz and agates. They are often used in jewellery but are also desirable for those who wish to place them in the environment to experience the ambient metaphysical attributes.
