The word "Orgonite" refers to a new class of materials which are composed of a mixture of metallic particles suspended in an organic medium. The term "Orgonite" was coined by Karl Welz, the man who is generally credited with inventing it. Though initially intended by Welz to refer only to his commercial product, the name stuck- and has come into usage by most people familiar with the material. So... I suppose in the mind of Karl Welz and few other folks, orgonite means Welz's individual recipe, but to most others it has come to mean any material produced using the same basic conceptual approach.  In any case, it refers to an orgone matrix material, as opposed to a layered orgone accumulator. To a degree, a piece of orgonite will act as an orgone accumulator in that it will tend to attract orgone from the area around it, but with an added dimension. The added dimension is that it will process the orgone energy as it interacts with it, whereas an orgone accumulator more simply condenses orgone energy.

There are many variations on the basic concept of suspending the metal within the organic element (as opposed to using thin layers of organic and metallic substances like in an orgone accumulator), and many other substances which can be added to the mixture to make it more potent, or to specialize it for different applications. Most of the people producing orgonite wind up developing their own exact recipes, I use several different recipes for slightly different applications. At the end of the day, the basic, fundamental ingredients of orgonite are metal particles and an organic medium to suspend them in, usually resin.
A wide range of metaphysical and radionics disciplines all work with the same energy, know it by various names ... (orgone, odic force, reiki energy, prana, chi, etheric energy, bio energy, bio magnetic energy, huna energy, animal magnetism, soft electrons, mass free electricity, radiesthetic color, astral energy, 4th dimensional energy, emotional body energy, life force energy, and no doubt a bunch of other names I have never even heard of) ... and so far orgone matrix material has proven itself a to be a readily adaptable and highly functional conceptual approach for work in these areas. Orgonite, (by any name) both releases orgone energy when stimulated by other forms of energy, and has the capacity to change orgone from one state to another. It is especially suited to taking the energy from an unhealthy state into a healthy, balanced state, and/or adding a selected property to the orgone energy which it processes. This makes it useful in wide range of applications, from alternative health through to radionics and other traditional metaphysics.
