Overview
Basic orgonite is simply fiberglass resin, metal shavings and a quartz crystal, cured in any
mold you like. There's no one "right" shape or size for orgonite, and its range of effect
seems to scale linearly with volume, but there are specific, time-tested, widely-used and
repeatedly-confirmed effective designs for both personal and field devices which have
grown and continue to grow out of the steadfast work of talented and dedicated gifters
from around the world. These designs comprise the basic tools of the orgonite gifter as
discussed on numerous orgonite Web boards and offered pre-made by many reputable
orgonite vendors.
What You'll Need
Metal Shavings: You don't want fine metal filings, nor do
you want large pieces of metal. Quarter-inch-wide
aluminum curls are very common and very effective for use
in orgonite, but any kind of copper, iron, brass (including
brassed aluminum), bronze, nickel or even steel shavings
will work fine. Just bring a bucket and some work gloves to
a local machine shop and ask them if you can fill your
bucket with metal shavings. Before giving them to you for
free, they will probably ask you what it's for (typically more
out of curiosity than anything), so why not tell them? If you don't feel comfortable
explaining orgonite to them, simply tell them about this site, or give them the simplest
honest answer you can, such as a "public service," "art project," or even "science
experiement". However, you may be surprised what people will understand if you take the
time to explain it meaningfully and from the heart.
Quartz Crystals: Any funky, ugly, smokey pieces of quartz will work
perfectly for orgonite field devices. You can usually find this grade of
quartz crystal very inexpensively at most decent gem and mineral shops,
or you can buy quartz online from orgonite-aware vendors at appropriate
sizes and grades.
Fiberglass/Epoxy Resin: The most expensive component of
orgonite, typically retailing for US$18-$25/gallon at marine supply
stores and hardware stores. Any kind of organic resin will work
fine, but liquid resin (as opposed to "body fill" paste) has been
found to be easiest to work with for creating orgonite. Resin
requires a chemical additive called a hardener, typically included if
purchased by the gallon, in order to catalyze the curing
(hardening) process, which may take from mere hours in hot, arid
weather to multiple days in wet, cold weather.
Molds: This depends on the specific type of orgonite device you
wish to create, but any mold which can withstand boiling
temperatures should work fine. Avoid plastics unless they are
oven-safe, as the chemical reaction which occurs during the catalyzation process heats the
resin to temperatures which can easily melt normal plastics. Generally, metal molds seem
to work best for most purposes, but cheap field devices can also be made from large
paper bathroom cups or paper sno-cone cups. Use your imagination!
Other Stuff: You will want a mixing container such as a bucket (preferably with a pouring
lip), a wooden stirring stick, some old rags or paper towels for splashes and spills, and a
large, flat surface for leaving the orgonite to cure.
Safety: Organic resins emit toxic fumes before and during the curing process, so working
in a well-ventilated area such as a backyard or porch/deck is ideal. You may also want to
use protective gloves and wear clothing you don't mind getting catalyzed resin splashed
on, as it will go everywhere, especially your first few times pouring. Putting down a tarp
first can help tremendously with cleanup, as the hardened resin should pop right off the
tarp.
