What is Lemurian quartz?
Lemurian quartz is a variety of clear quartz crystal recognized by its distinct horizontal striations or “barcodes” along at least one face of the crystal. These lines are more than surface texture—they’re what set Lemurians apart from standard quartz points.
According to lore, these crystals are said to have been left behind by the lost civilization of Lemuria, encoded with knowledge and spiritual energy. Whether you believe in ancient wisdom or just love a beautifully etched crystal, Lemurians have serious character.
How is Lemurian quartz different from regular quartz?
While both are made of silicon dioxide, Lemurian quartz is often identified by:
-
Its ladder-like striations
-
A natural, unpolished feel
-
A more matte, frosty texture on one or more sides
-
And a general vibe of looking like it’s seen some stuff
Each piece is unique and naturally formed—no two barcodes are ever exactly the same.
Where is Lemurian quartz found?
Most Lemurian quartz on the market today comes from Brazil, particularly from the Minas Gerais region. That said, similar striated crystals have been found in Colombia, Russia, and other regions—but Brazilian Lemurians are the most iconic.
🌀 At Rare Earth Gallery: We carry genuine Lemurian quartz points, both rough and polished, often with custom stands or paired with other minerals. You’ll find each piece labeled with location and characteristics for collectors and crystal enthusiasts alike.
Is Lemurian quartz rare?
While not as rare as some crystals, high-quality Lemurian quartz with intact striations and clear energy is becoming harder to find—especially larger or more symmetrical pieces. If you see one that resonates, don’t wait too long!
Does Lemurian quartz have metaphysical properties?
Yes—and this is where things get a little cosmic. Lemurian quartz is believed to:
-
Support spiritual awakening
-
Aid in meditation and intuitive work
-
Help “download” ancient wisdom via its striations (like a crystal USB drive, basically)
Many people use it during breathwork, chakra balancing, or simply keep it nearby during journaling or dreaming.
How do I work with Lemurian quartz?
-
Meditation: Run your finger along the ridges during stillness to “activate” the crystal.
-
Intention setting: Hold it while setting a personal goal or affirmation.
-
Display with purpose: These aren’t just sparkly objects—they’re intentional tools.
