Read our Sourcing Standards →These are A-grade Lemurian Quartz raw crystal points from Minas Gerais, Brazil, sold by the piece or by the pound. Lemurian quartz is identified by horizontal ladder-like striations across its faces, natural growth marks rather than carving. This batch runs 1 to 2 inches and 10 to 30 grams per point at Mohs 7, with 24-40 pieces per pound. A grade means good transparency with some pieces lightly fractured. Hand-finished with jojoba oil, otherwise natural and untreated.
Lemurian quartz looks like ordinary clear quartz until you run a fingertip down the side. The signature ladder-like striations cross one or more faces, sometimes faint, sometimes sharp, always horizontal. They are natural growth marks, not carving or tooling.
Sourced through a community partnership in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Lemurian quartz shows up in practice most often as a simple anchor: something to hold while listening for the quieter signals, or while clarifying what you actually want. It is traditionally linked to the crown and third eye chakras. If that resonates, the top of an altar or a nightstand suits it. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
