Who Was Marcel Vogel?
From an IBM Researcher to a Crystal Healer
Marcel Vogel was a German-born chemist who, after moving to the US, worked for IBM from 1956–1966. During this time he developed a number of patents for IBM that improved the efficiency of microchip technologies. He also developed an interest in crystal healing, which led him to spend a lot of time creating perfumes and essential oils during his off-hours.
Marcel Vogel worked for IBM in San Jose for 27 years as a research scientist. He received numerous patents for his inventions during this time. The magnetic coating for the 24" hard disc drive systems still in use was one of them. Among his specialties were phosphor technology, liquid crystal systems, luminescence, and magnetics.
He then left IBM in 1966 to take over as head of research and development at Aromazone Inc., which is where he invented a technique called vibrational medicine. This technique uses sound waves to break up water molecules into a crystalline state.
Later on in his life, Marcel did pioneering work on man-plant communication in the 1970s. This led to the study of quartz crystals and the creation of the Vogel-cut crystal. Vogel-cut crystals are instruments that store, amplify, convert, and cohere subtle energies.
