I have the crystals in the water itself. I use rose quartz studded with aquamarine, a family treasure my Grandfather had in his collection, plus Lapis Lazuli, Lavendar Amethyst,Amazonite and Rhodochrosite. I read about doing this several years ago. I have now placed a piece of washed and blessed orgonite on top of the water container. I also mixed up my calcium hydroxide into distilled water, but it will not dissolve, it keeps settling out of suspension. I thought this stuff was supposed to go into solution with water instead of suspension.
