Question 2

1. What is Gemwater

Accepted Answer

Experts all over the world agree that water can be restructured, or  "informed" in many different ways. One of these ways is using radiation.  Take for example a microwave: Put a glass with water in a running  microwave for some time and it will begin to boil. The microwave shoots  waves at the water molecules that causes them to vibrate. Everything  that emits radiation can influence water. A very natural and subtle  source of radiation are gems (or crystals). People have been using gems  to infuse their drinking water for thousands of years. The ancient Greek  did it and wise men and women in the Middle Ages. Of course they  couldn't understand the scientific process but they realized, it changed  something in their water. Something they could feel and taste. Over the  time, they studied the effects of this "gem water" and developed a  tradition called "crystal healing". There is lots of literature on this  topic (very recommendable e.g. "Gem Water" by J. Goebel, M. Gienger,  available in our ONLINE STORE).*
VitaJuwel has rediscovered this tradition and created glass vials  that contain different blends of crystals, following tested and tried  "recipes". VitaJuwel is the only way to inspirit water naturally and  revitalize it with its original quality like fresh from the spring.

Question 3

2. Is there proof that the gems (πολυτιμοι λιθοι) change the properties of water?

Accepted Answer

There's no other substance on earth that has a greater influence on  our wellbeing than water. If you begin to engage yourself with the  mysteries of water, you'll very soon come across one name: Dr. Masaru  Emoto. No present-day scientist has studied the true nature of water  more intensely than the recently passed away and greatly missed Japanese  researcher and author of the New York Times bestseller “The Hidden  Messages in Water ” available HERE. Crystal images by Dr. Emoto‘s  laboratory verified that water treated with VitaJuwel gem vials regains  its original, natural energy and thus is comparable to fresh spring  water.
Also, German scientists have proven that water becomes more alkaline  and the oxygen content increases with VitaJuwel gem vials. The tests  showed: „With VitaJuwel, drinking water reaches a quality level  otherwise only found in natural spring water.“
Like in the natural cycle of water, with VitaJuwel gem vials the natural element stone regenerates the natural element water.
And besides, the best way to prove it is to try for yourself. Don't believe us, just drink! :)

Question 4

3. Πώς μπορώ να χρησιμοποιήσω σωστά τους ράβδους πολύτιμων λίθων μου;

Accepted Answer

Η προετοιμασία του πολύτιμου νερού με μία ράβδο πολύτιμων λίθων VitaJuwel είναι εύκολη: Απλώς τοποθετήστε τη ράβδο πολύτιμων λίθων σας μέσα σε μια κανάτα (κατά προτίμηση από γυαλί), γεμίστε το με κανονικό πόσιμο νερό και περιμένετε 7 - 10 λεπτά. Αυτό είναι το μόνο που χρειάζεται! Μπορείτε είτε να αφήσετε τη ράβδο πολύτιμων λίθων μέσα στη κανάτα είτε να τη βγάλετε. Κρυστάλλινες εικόνες από το εργαστήριο Hado Life, το οποίο ιδρύθηκε από τον Δρ. Masaru Emoto, επαλήθευσαν ότι το νερό που έχει υποστεί επεξεργασία με VitaJuwel ανακτά την αρχική του φυσική ενέργεια και επομένως είναι συγκρίσιμο με το γλυκό φρέσκο νερό πηγής.

Question 5

4. How do the gems affect the water although they are sealed inside the glass vial?

Accepted Answer

It's a common misunderstanding that crystal water or gemwater is made  in a process that includes minerals dissolving in water. You actually  DON'T want to have a physical component from gems / crystals dissolving  in your water as it doesn't improve it at all. Gemwater is made by the  subtle radiation of the gems. As you know from sun rays, magnetic rays  or microwaves, radiation waves pass through glass. That's the same with  the gems' radiation.

Question 6

5. What keeps me from preparing gemwater by simply placing the gems directly in the water?

Accepted Answer

In the past, gems were put directly in the water to prepare gemwater  or "crystal elixirs" and therefore had to be cleaned regularly. Besides  the cleaning issue, stones often also emit hazardous substances (e.g.  bedrock). Those contaminations were consumed along with the water. Some  healing crystals that can be used in external applications without a  problem may even release toxic substances if they are placed directly in  water.
The perfect way to avoid those issues in preparing gemwater is to use  gem vials by VitaJuwel as the gems are sealed in the glass vial and  infuse the water without having a direct physical contact.
Seriously, why would you want to put something you dug up from the  earth put in your drinking water, when there's a much more hygienic way  to prepare gemwater?

Question 7

6. Does gemwater taste different than regular water?

Accepted Answer

Almost all of our customers report a difference in taste between  regular drinking water and gemwater. Even the different VitaJuwel gem  blends are reported to taste different. The difference is often  perceived as very subtle, as a change in the texture of the water. Try  for yourself!

Question 8

7. How long am I supposed to leave my VitaJuwel gem vial in my water?

Accepted Answer

Gemwater experts suggest that you leave the gem vial in a decanter  with about 1.5 liters of drinking water for 7 - 10 minutes to get the  full experience.

Question 9

8. How do I clean my VitaJuwel gem vial and my VitaJuwel decanter?

Accepted Answer

The gem vials and decanters are NOT dishwasher-safe. Wash them by  hand using lukewarm water. Do not use chemicals or abrasive cleaners. To  remove lime scale from inside the decanter, fill it with water and 2  tbsp. of white vinegar. Leave it overnight and rinse it very thoroughly  with clean water the next day.

Question 10

9. How long after I remove my VitaJuwel gem vial from the decanter will the water stay infused?

Accepted Answer

That depends a lot on the quality of the water you use to prepare  your gemwater with and any sources of radiation nearby that might  influence the water's structure. Experience has shown that filtered  water with no nearby radiation stays infused for up to 2 days.

Question 11

10. For how long do the gems emit their energy? Do I have to recharge the gem vial?

Accepted Answer

Well, if you ask 5 experts you might get 5 different answers on this  topic. There is no single truth to this. In our personal believe, the  gems do not have to be recharges and won't lose their "powers" in our  lifetime. All of the crystals we use are hand-selected, natural pieces  taken from the earth. They are age-old and have been created in red  heat, eons ago. They haven't lost their energy in the time since and we  don't see a reason why they should in a human's short lifespan. But hey,  it certainly wouldn't hurt the gems' properties if you'd place your  VitaJuwel gem vial in the morning sun or in moon light. Who knows? :)

Question 12

12. What kind of water works best to create gemwater?

Accepted Answer

We recommend to use purified water. Either bottled (but please don't buy plastic bottles!) or filtered at home. Personally, we love Castle Rock Water. Sparkling water isn't your best choice as it will taste dull after some time in a decanter.

Question 13

13. Is my VitaJuwel gem vial very fragile? How do I handle it properly?

Accepted Answer

To a lot of our customers, VitaJuwel gem vials are pieces of art and  "Jewelry for Water". They might seem to be very fragile, but they are  also tools made for a purpose. Our master glassblowers know their trade  and create gem vials from lead-free glass that are very sturdy and  robust. But PLEASE be aware that they are made of glass. Handle them  with the same care as a precious wine glass. Avoid impacts, blows or  strokes. Don't drop it. Don't freeze, boil or microwave it. Avoid  temperatures below 45° F and above 95° F. Love your vial and it will pay  it back! :)

Question 14

14. Does my VitaJuwel gem vial also work with other beverages like juices or alcoholic drinks?

Accepted Answer

Lots of gemwater lovers report that they use their VitaJuwel gem vial with juices with the effect that they taste less acidy.
Amethysts enjoy a long association with Dionysus, the God of Wine.  The ancient Greek created drinking vessels from amethysts, believing  that the stone would prevent from getting drunk. The word “amethyst”  means “not intoxicated” (from Greek a- “not” + methystos “intoxicated”).  A little while ago, selected wineries and professional sommeliers  rediscovered the ancient tradition to enhance their wine with amethysts  and achieved amazing results. Nowadays, as opposed to a few thousand  years ago, amethysts are no longer placed directly into the wine. Our  VitaJuwel Vino softens the wine's natural acids and makes it taste  smoother. Fill your decanter with a bottle of wine, place the gem vial  in it and wait for 7-10 minutes. You‘ll be amazed....but don‘t expect to  stay sober. And PLEASE, always drink responsibly!

Question 15

15. Can I use my VitaJuwel gem vial to prepare tea or coffee?

Accepted Answer

Of course you can heat up gemwater and use it to prepare tea or  coffee, but please remove your gem vial first! We know from physics that  boiling changes the structure of the water. The same way, boiling will  affect gemwater. We have lots of customers who report that tea tastes  more aromatic when prepared with gemwater.

Question 16

16. What gem blend works best for me?

Accepted Answer

With great care we've "tailored" 17 gem blends to suit every need you  might have. Every blend focuses on different aspects. Finding the right  blend for you depends a lot on what purpose you'd like to use the vial  for and where your special needs and wishes lie. We've experienced that  the first impulse is most times the right one. If that doesn't help, a  lot of beginners start with the WELLNESS blend, as this basic,  well-balanced composition was used to inspirit water for hundreds of  years by many generations of gemwater lovers.
Due to restrictions made by the federal government, we cannot give  you any advise on how different gems might affect your health or  wellbeing. If you want to learn more on the old tradition of crystal  healing or what crystal experts have to say on the use of specific  stones or blends, we recommend a great book by M. Gienger and J. Goebel.  It is called "Gem Water" and is available in our ONLINE STORE. Another excellent online source of knowledge on crystals is Crystal Vaults.

Question 17

17. How are the gem vials made?

Accepted Answer

Each of our VitaJuwel gem vials is handcrafted by master glassblowers  in Bohemia. They use premium, lead-free glass and hand-selected gems.  The process of heating, melting and cooling of a single vial takes about  24 minutes and is patented worldwide! All of our gems are  fairly-traded. Before used in our gem vials, they are cleaned thoroughly  in a special, 8-step process. The special liquid inside the gem vial  prevents the crystals from getting mossy and the vial from getting dim.  It's natural and harmless, even if accidentally swallowed.

Question 18

18. Can I change the gems inside my gem vial?

Accepted Answer

Our gem vials are sealed. Therefore it's not possible to change the  blend of your gem vial. Experience has shown that the most hygienic way  to prepare gemwater is using sealed vials. We currently offer vials with  17 distinctive blends of gems, following age-old traditions and  "recipes".

Question 19

19. What do I do when my gem vial gets damaged?

Accepted Answer

Before every use make sure your gem vial is free of any damages. If  it has cracks or other damages, STOP USAGE immediately. Damaged vials  are not safe for usage and may cause physical harm. The liquid inside  the vial is NOT hazardous. If you have swallowed any pieces from your  product SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION!
The gems inside my VitaJuwel are beautiful but look a little different than I saw in another vial.
Gems and crystals are unique like everyone of us. They are age-old  natural products and therefore may vary in size, shape and color.

Question 20

20. Can I combine different vials in one decanter?

Accepted Answer

We don't recommend doing that. It's a little bit like mixing apple  juice with orange juice. You probably won't like it. Every gem blend we  offer has been tested and tried by thousands of people. Combination of  different blends haven't.

Question 21

21. Who came up with this idea?

Accepted Answer

Well, our founder Ewald Eisen, probably one of the biggest water  lovers in Southern Germany, used to put crystals directly in the water  to infuse it. Until in 2007 he was just tired of cleaning his crystals  all of the time and was annoyed by the crystals getting dull over the  time. After several sleepless nights, dozens of drawings and numerous  meetings with Bohemian glass craftsmen, a new invention was born – the  VitaJuwel vial! At first he just had some produced for himself, friends  and family but very soon after, friends of his friends wanted them and  demand grew rapidly. Now he and his two sons, together with their staff,  lead a business that has offices in Southern Germany, Austria and  California, supplies several distributors and thousands of customers in  over 30 countries all over the world with their gemwater accessories.
