What Are Lemurian Crystals?
Lemurian crystals are natural gemstones similar in appearance and geological makeup to quartz. Distinctive horizontal striations are on one or more sides of the stone, and each crystal ends in triangular-shaped faces that form the crystal's apex. Unlike quartz, however, these crystals have a pink or white frosted finish. Stones with few or no inclusions are preferred but rare.

Origin and Discovery
-
Lemurian crystals were discovered in Brazil on a hilltop strip mined for quartz. The stones were found buried in sand, separate from any cluster. Apparently, the "seed crystals" were characteristically different from quartz because most of them glowed from the inside with a pink or reddish hue. The crystals are found on Sierra Do Cabral mountain in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Legend of Ancient Lemuria
-
Ancient Lemuria is believed to have existed somewhere between the South American and Australian continents in the Pacific Ocean before the rise of Atlantis, and it is considered a lost civilization that sunk into the sea. According to legend, the Lemurian race disappeared from Earth after attaining the power of ascension. Some are said to have ascended to the stars and traveled to far galaxies, while others traveled to the center of the Earth to remain as its caregivers. Lemurian seed crystals are thought to be imbued with the collective knowledge of ancient Lemuria.
