Nine-Gem Elixir adds coral and onyx to the Seven-Gem
Elixir.
The gems used to make elixirs will readily discharge
their power into water or alcohol. However, the pearl
should never be placed in alcohol; alcohol will damage
it.
To prepare elixirs for a vast array of diseases, you
need at least nine of the gems in the above list, several
one- or two-ounce glass bottles with screw caps
(preferably bottles colored blue or green), and vodka or
pure water. Pure water is best, as it doesn't react
adversely with any gemstone. You can use vodka, if you
wish, but it isn't necessary. Not only will alcohol
damage some stones, but some patients may have
negative reactions to alcohol in a gem elixir. Never use
medicinal or rubbing alcohol.
Making Gem ElixirsFirst, wash and sterilize the bottles. Fill a bottle with
water, then drop in the required gem. Seal the bottle
with the cap and store in a dark place for seven days
and nights. The best time to begin this is after the new
moon so you are finished by the next full moon. At the
end of this time, shake the bottle gently, and then
transfer the liquid into another labeled bottle. The water
will not look any different after it is made into gem
elixir. Store out of the sunlight.
