If you are certain your stone is non-toxic, undyed and not enclosed in a metal setting, it’s very simple to make your elixir. Now please note: there are favorable and appropriate times to do this kind of thing. It’s always best to start this process when the moon is NOT void of course. Voids have a way of distorting whatever you begin under their influence, so, look it up, and if the moon is void of course, wait until the moon has entered the next sign and is approaching an aspect. There is also the consideration of whether the moon is waning or waxing, and what sign it’s residing in at the time of your elixir project. Use your judgment here, and do your research.

f you are wishing to adopt an expansive attribute, the waxing moon is best. If you are trying to rid yourself of a behavior or situation, choose the waning moon instead. Now, all gemstones have a planetary rulership, and an affinity with a chakra, or sometimes more than one planet or chakra.
