3″ Lemurian Quartz Thick Standing Point with Companion from Brazil 10 Oz

This piece stands 3 x 2 x 2 ” and weighs 10 Oz

This beautiful thick Lemurian has been cut at the base to create this standing point, while the sides are left completely raw. The point has been lightly polished, highlighting some beautiful flashy internal rainbows. Along the back is a large self-healed imprint left from the growth of a neighboring crystal, and a small companion lodged horizontally in the crystal wall. This piece presents some incredible clarity. Lemurian crystals are unique, as they present a distinct tapered shape and horizontal ladder striation climbing the sides, as seen in this piece – with one especially pronounced step just below the point. So named after the legend of Lemuria, these crystals have an interesting lore. From the Diamantina mine in Brazil.

The Lemurian Legend:

The Legend of Lemuria describes an ancient civilization that existed around the same time as Atlantis. These ancient people were highly evolved and very spiritual, said to be aligned with “the source of all”. Their holy people began receiving information that Earth would soon go through a very dramatic cleansing. This was the Great Flood, also known as the destruction of Atlantis. They felt it was very important that knowledge from Lemuria be preserved. One of the ways they did this was in crystals. These information crystals known as Lemurian seed crystals were taken deep within the earth to be stored and preserved, to come forth at a time when the world was ready to receive them.

The famous crystal author, Katrina Raphaell, coined the term “Lemurian Crystal” in Feb 2000, introducing it in one of her newsletters. She was referring to a new discovery of quartz found in the Diamantina region (southeast of Brazil), presenting with very distinct horizontal ladder striations along the length of the crystals, and a distinct laser-type shape and exceptional clarity. Since that time, crystals with these same striations and form have also been found in areas of the Himalayas, Zambia, Russia, and even the USA. Some maintain that Lemurians only come from the original find in Brazil. However, some scholars believe that before their land was lost, some of the Lemurian people fled to neighboring countries – Tibet, Himalayas, India, Asia, etc. And indeed, Lemurian-like crystals have been found in many of these locales.
