Process for Making Gemstone Infused Water Using a Perforated Glass Container

Abstract

A process for making gemstone infused water (also referred to as gemstone elixirs) by placing gemstones into a perforated glass container, and then pouring water into the perforated glass container and over the gemstones. The water comes into contact with the gemstones but does not come into contact with any other material except the glass of the perforated glass container and the glass of the glass collection container. After being poured into the perforated glass container and over the gemstones, the water drains or passes through the perforations located at or near the bottom of the perforated glass container and into the glass collection container where it is then available for consumption or storage. The gemstones can remain inside the perforated glass container for repeated or future use. This sequence of steps can be repeated multiple times for the same batch of water or a new batch of water.

Claims

1. A process for making gemstone infused water using a perforated glass container comprising the following steps: a. providing a perforated glass container; b. placing gemstones into said perforated glass container; c. pouring water into said perforated glass container, and over said gemstones; d. providing a glass collection container to collect the gemstone infused water as it drains through and out of the perforations in said perforated glass container. whereby said gemstone infused water in said glass collection container is then available for consumption or storage.

2. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a cylindrical shape.

3. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a predetermined size and cross-sectional shape.

4. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforations in the perforated glass container have a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location.

5. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 having perforations of a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location to allow the water to flow out of the perforated glass container at a predetermined rate.

6. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 having perforations of a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location to allow the water to temporarily pool up or collect inside the perforated glass container prior to draining into the collection container.

7. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a cylindrical shape, and the perforations in the perforated glass container have a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location.

8. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a cylindrical shape, and has perforations of a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location to allow the water to flow out of the perforated glass container at a predetermined rate.

9. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a cylindrical shape, and has perforations of a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location to allow the water to temporarily pool up or collect inside the perforated glass container prior to draining into the collection container.

10. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a predetermined size and cross-sectional shape, and the perforations in the perforated glass container have a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location.

11. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a predetermined cross-sectional shape, and has perforations of a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location to allow the water to flow out of the perforated glass container at a predetermined rate.

12. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a predetermined cross-sectional shape, and has perforations of a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location to allow the water to temporarily pool up or collect inside the perforated glass container prior to draining into the collection container.

13. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a predetermined size and cross-sectional shape, and has perforations of a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location to allow the water to flow out of the perforated glass container at a predetermined rate.

14. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein the perforated glass container into which the water is initially poured has a predetermined size and cross-sectional shape, and has perforations of a predetermined number, size, spacing, and location to allow the water to temporarily pool up or collect inside the perforated glass container prior to draining into the collection container.

15. The perforated glass container provided in claim 1 wherein salt, at a predetermined ratio, is mixed with the water prior to pouring the water into the perforated glass container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONFIGS. 1, 2 AND 3

[0032] One embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 1 (perspective), FIG. 2 (side view), and FIG. 3 (side view). Gemstones 14 are placed into a perforated glass container 10. The perforations 11 are at or near the bottom of the perforated glass container. The perforated glass container is placed, rested or held above the glass collection container 12. From any source of water 16, water is poured 15 into the perforated glass container and over the gemstones. The water washes over the gemstones, and then drains through the perforations in the perforated glass container into the glass collection container where it is collected for consumption or storage. This sequence of steps can be repeated multiple times for the same batch of water or a new batch of water.

[0033] Once preparation of the gemstone infused water has been completed, the perforated glass container can be set aside for future use. The gemstones can remain inside the perforated glass container or removed. Keeping the gemstones inside the perforated glass container reduces preparation time and increases simplicity. Because the perforated glass container is not used to consume the gemstone infused water, neither it nor the gemstones need to be cleaned. The same or a different glass collection container can be used to prepare the next batch of gemstone infused water.

[0034] Although the description above contains many specificities, these should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments but as merely providing illustrations of some of several embodiments. For example, the perforated glass container can have other shapes, there can be more or less perforations in the glass, the perforations can vary in size, shape, and location, and the perforated glass container can drain into and be located above the glass collection container in various ways.

[0035] Thus, in addition to the above description, the scope of the embodiments should also include the appended claims and their legal equivalents,
