About the Author

Michael Gienger (1964-2014) was one of Europe’s most respected experts on crystals and their uses, a field in which he had been active since 1988. He started collecting minerals in 1972, and in 1985 a successful self-treatment with healing crystals inspired him to pursue further training as an alternative healing practitioner. He was trained in shiatsu and completed a two-year apprentice in shamanic healing. He went on to author more than 20 publications, a number of which have become standard works in their field and have been translated into 11 languages.

Joachim Goebel is an international lecturer, trainer, seminar leader, and industrial consultant, who has been researching gem waters since 1998.

Editorial Reviews

"Gem Water offers a whole new approach to using crystals. You’ll be awakened as you learn to prepare and use more than 130 crystal waters for therapeutic treatments. I personally never heard of this, so I was naturally intrigued and mesmerized. It features over a 100 crystals and 34 special mixtures with their effects. There are seven different methods of preparing gem water, and each is explained clearly. By far the easiest is simply placing a crystal directly in water. But, before you make any gem waters, your crystals must be cleansed. Detailed steps walk you through the process. I had no idea this was necessary, and I’ve begun to cleanse the few crystals I have."
