My experience with gem elixers might be short lived.
The one that I made using the indirect method (see picture in first post) Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Rock Crystal- kept me up ALL night! I could feel my body tingling inside, moving through my bloodstream. It was terrible. I didn't like the boost or the feeling!
Now I have all these test tubes. They sure are pretty to fill with gems and water!!!! I am going to stick with using them in little glass spray tubes.
