The origins of the Lemurian seed crystals make an interesting story. Over the years I’ve researched Lemurian information on the Internet, collected accounts from several of my sources for Lemurian crystals, and consulted several dealers in quartz crystals, who have dealt directly with the owners of the Lemurian mines for many years.
I have been told that pioneering American miners in the 1940s, working land owned by Brazilians, opened up two mines in the mountains of the Serra do Cabral mountain range near the town of Joaquin Felicio, in the state of Minas Gerais.
After World War II, the Americans left. The mines reverted to the control of the Brazilian families who originally owned the land. Five relatives from these families reopened mining operations in the early 1990s, at the larger mine of the two that had been opened up by the Americans.
According to my sources, the Lemurian crystals were found in the mine shafts being dug in the original Lemurian mine, embedded in a matrix surrounded by loose sandy soil, from which it was relatively easy to extract them. Individuals who have direct experience removing crystals from the Lemurian mines say that they have found many long wands deposited vertically in loose, sandy soil, points directed downward, as if someone standing above the location had placed them there.
These Lemurian crystals often appeared in clusters of long shafts and as individual wands. Individual Lemurian wands range in size from a few inches to two feet or more in length, and weigh anywhere from a few ounces to 100 pounds or more. Clusters weighing up to 1200 pounds have been extracted from time to time.
An American mineral dealer, David Geiger, was intrigued by the unusual formations of the crystals in the mine, and forwarded some samples to a colleague, Katrina Raphaell. Ms. Raphaell designated the crystals as "Lemurian seed crystals", and offered the world a wealth of channeled information about the origin of these unique crystals.
Because they were fairly easy to extract, it seemed that an intelligent agent had planted them in the soil. Channeled information indicated that ancient civilizations had "seeded" the location with these unique crystals. These ancient civilizations were thought to have intended that their ancestors easily uncover the crystals, while “seeding” the entire region with their resonant light information.
Based upon channeled information received in trance and meditation, many metaphysical rock hounds came to believe that these crystals were implanted directly in loose sandy soil in the mountains of the Serra do Cabral by the high stewards of ancient Lemuria, eons prior to all currently known historical records. Other crystal healers said that these Lemurian crystals grew from tiny "seed" crystals implanted in the sandy soil of the Brazilian mountains by the Lemurian high priests and priestesses in the mists of pre-history.
The exact time frame of the Lemurian civilization is open to question, as is the exact nature of their civilization. Crystal healers and Lightworkers believe it was the Lemurians who planted the crystals as Earthkeepers. These exalted crystal beings primary purpose was to broadcast the Lemurian resonant lightwave and as repositories of their knowledge.
The most prominent source of information about Lemurian civilization comes from wisdom teachers of the now-legendary Theosophical School of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, which included such luminaries as J. Krishnamurti, Madame Blavatsky, Alice Bailey, Rudolf Steiner and Charles Leadbeater. These spiritual teachers claimed to have had clairvoyant insights into the history and origins of the human race that transcended all existing scholarship and historical records. These clairvoyant mystics relied upon a direct experience of the Akashic Records to formulate their own timeline of human development.
The Akashic Records are said to constitute a vast, ethereal library containing all of humanity’s thoughts, words and deeds which has been impressed upon the substance of the vast Universal Field of Life Force Energy filling all time and space. In fact, the information in the Akashic Records is considered Universal in nature, and transcends human history. Scholars of the Hindu Vedas, the oldest written sacred scriptures on our planet, say that the wisdom in the Vedas was transcribed by ancient seers and sages, known as "rishis", who read the Akashic records and recorded what they saw.
According to mystic, clairvoyant, author and scholar Rudolf Steiner, who broke with the Theosophical Society and founded the Waldorf Schools and biodynamic agriculture, the Lemurian civilization existed prior to Atlantis, and existed in South Asia and Africa, extending from Ceylon to Madagascar.
Steiner says that in the more highly developed Lemurian civilization, the role of female initiates was paramount, and that these female initiates were responsible for planting the seeds of the knowledge in the soul of mankind, as well as for developing the first human awareness of beauty, and for cultivating the first human language, a kind of song.
Thus all subsequent human civilizations owe a huge debt of gratitude to the Lemurian priestesses, who created the first Mystery Schools teaching enlightenment through direct experience of nature, the first human system of ethics, the first art and highly developed system of aesthetics and the first, prototypical human language.
Given this description of the ancient Lemurian civilization, it is not at all surprising that crystal healers and Lightworkers from the Nineties to the present have consistently described the energy of the Lemurian seed crystals as warm, nurturing, feminine, healing, and closely connected to the Source of Shakti, the weaver of the web of life on Earth, the Divine Mother.
All Lemurians have a very powerful & unique energy signature. The way that they refract light reminds one more of a diamond than quartz. When placed on a light base, Lemurians exhibit the qualities of a laser like wand, or even a light saber of “Star Wars” fame. This quality of light transference is the fingerprint of true Lemurian seed crystals.
Lemurians occur naturally with multiple striations, and Katrina Raphaell and some other crystal healers consider the crystals more valuable when these striations have been left intact & not polished off , although the majority believes that both polished and unpolished Lemurian crystals have immensely powerful energies useful in healing, meditation and spiritual practice of all kinds.
The multiple striations on Lemurian crystals are a resonant library that contains information from the ancient civilization of Lemuria. Lemurian crystals are said to be tuned to energies of unity, and to help us to balance the spiritual and physical aspects of our lives.
According to the crystal dealers that we work with, Lemurian seed crystals are perfect examples of a crystalline structure created by what is known as the “Muzo crystal growth habit”.
Rykart, commenting on crystals from Muzo in Colombia, first described this habit. A similar crystal “habit” or structure has also been found on rock crystals from pegmatites in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and from alpinotype vugs in Switzerland.
Many Lemurian seed crystals, commonly known as “Laser wands”, display the defining characteristics of the “Muzo habit”. Muzo habit crystals display horizontal striations up and down the shaft, and can form very steep termination tips, such that a cross section of the upper end of the shaft appears triangular, although the lower body of the shaft remains hexagonal in shape.
It is said that the Lemurian high stewards placed these crystals strategically along the so-called Dragons Net of Ley lines. Ley lines are alignments and patterns of powerful, invisible earth energy said to connect various sacred sites, such as churches, temples, stone circles, megaliths, holy wells, burial sites, and other locations of spiritual or magical importance. The scientific belief is that these lines are areas of altered magnetic fields. In this way, the resonant Lemurian Vibration is channeled throughout the Dragons energy systems.
This explains why Lemurian crystals are found in Brazil, in Russia, and in other locations, none of which map closely onto the locations identified with Lemuria by the Theosophical seers who originally envisioned this ancient civilization in their clairvoyant meditations.
