Gem water
Gem water is water that has been exposed to crystals so that the water can be encoded with the energy of the crystals. You are left with very useful and high frequency water.
There are three main things to keep in mind when you are going to make a gem elixir.
1. Toxicity
Do NOT place crystals into your drinking water without checking for toxicity. Most crystals within the quartz family are safe for drinking water, like amethyst. Always check first.
2. Use
Some uses are baths, sprays, and taking a few drops at a time like you would with a flower essence.
3. Desired Potency
Do you want something that is really strong and energetically potent? Or did you just want to add a small boost to the water you are using?
Ways to increase potency:

• Astrological correspondences
• Adding other ingredients, such as herbs
• Leaving the water to be exposed to the crystals for a longer period of time
• Exposing the water to an appropriate colored light

Methods for creating gem water:

• Drinking glass method (for nontoxic crystals)

Simply place your crystal(s) in your water glass and leave for at least an hour.

• Glass with lid method (for nontoxic crystals)

Find a glass container with a lid (a jar works) and fill it with water and your chosen crystal(s). Leave it overnight, or longer. (Outside during a full moon is appropriate)

• Crystal next to or under glass method (for toxic crystals)

For toxic crystals, place the crystal either under or next to the water container. Never inside of it.
Different gem water recipes to try:

• Moonstone, ametrine (or amethyst), and rose quartz for balancing hormones and PMS
• Labradorite, rainbow fluorite (in the green, blue, and purple range), and blue calcite for meditation and astral travel
• Rose quartz, aquamarine for healing acne 
• Smokey quartz, hematite, and black obsidian for grounding
• Black tourmaline and amethyst for protection 
• Apache tear, lepidolite, and azurite-malachite for emotional balance/healing
