LEMURIAN SEED QUARTZ (STEEP RHOMBOHEDRAL GROWTH HABIT)

(Brazil/Washington/Columbia)

Legend states that there was a spiritually advanced, peaceful, ancient civilization called Lemuria that lived on an island between Madagascar and India. They lived at the same time as the Atlanteans. The Lemurians were peaceful, spiritual, knowledge loving people, and the Atlanteans were war-like people. The Lemurians could see that the Atlanteans were going to cause a catastrophic disaster that would wipe them all out. Legend states that they “seeded” these special quartz all around the world, so that later humans could have access to their vast knowledge. They were said to have been “discovered” in 1999, because we as a people were ready to receive the knowledge of the Lemurians. The information isn’t “burned” onto the crystals like one would burn a cd, but rather is accessible through the crystal, as one would use a portal. Some believe that meditation with these crystals will allow for access to ancient wisdom, to connect with the energy of the universe & to elevate consciousness. Lemurian Seed Quartz has steep rhombohedral faces (M) replacing the 3 m faces (m & M faces are the flat sides of the prism, or body of the crystal) under the z faces (one of the 2 crystal termination faces. There are 3 z faces and 3 r faces to the pyramid on the end of the crystal). These M faces are covered in striations or triangular/arrow shaped indentations and interrupted by steps that correspond to the z face. The 3 m faces are usually completely transparent, and smaller than the M faces. These crystals can have many different growth habits, but they must have the 3 striated sides and 3 clear sides to be considered a Lemurian crystal. In Brazil, where this myth was first described, the crystals have a tendency to break off of their matrix. When these crystals were first discovered, large, clear, loose crystals were found in the sandy soil, which looked as if they had been “planted” or “seeded” there on purpose. This is one of the pieces to the puzzle of how the Lemurian Seed Quartz legend began. However, these crystals have been known in the mineral world for decades, not just since 1999.
