Crystals And Gemstones
LEMURIAN CRYSTALS
Lemurian quartz crystals are easily recognized by the fine, horizontal striations—often called “bar codes”—that run along one or more sides of the crystal. According to crystal lore, these markings are not random growth patterns but intentional imprints, said to carry information from an ancient civilization often referred to as Lemuria or Mu. While this origin story belongs to spiritual tradition rather than academic geology, many people are drawn to Lemurian quartz because of the way it invites reflection, focus, and inner awareness.
One of the most distinctive aspects of Lemurian quartz is how it is traditionally used. Rather than being admired only visually, these crystals are often engaged through touch. Running a finger slowly along the striations is believed to activate stored information and intuitive insight. Many people describe this interaction as calming, centering, or clarifying—like tuning into a quiet inner signal that is normally drowned out by daily noise. Lemurian quartz is commonly associated with emotional balance, personal clarity, and energetic alignment. It is often used during meditation, journaling, creative work, or moments of transition. Some people place it near their bed, workspace, or sacred space to encourage a steady, coherent atmosphere. Others work with Lemurian quartz when they are seeking perspective, grounding, or a deeper connection to their own inner wisdom. The connection between crystals and modern technology is often mentioned for a reason. Quartz is used in watches, computers, and cell phones because of its piezoelectric properties—its ability to maintain stable frequencies and regulate timing when pressure or energy is applied. While this does not mean crystals function the same way in the human body, many people see this as symbolic: quartz is trusted to bring order, consistency, and precision to complex systems. From that perspective, it’s easy to understand why people feel drawn to quartz as a stabilizing and harmonizing presence in their personal environments. Lemurian quartz is also frequently used with animals and plants. Some place a crystal near a plant to encourage steady growth or near an animal’s resting area to support calm behavior. In gardens, greenhouses, or natural settings, Lemurian quartz is sometimes positioned as a way to promote balance within the surrounding space. These practices are based on observation, tradition, and personal experience rather than laboratory measurement, yet they remain meaningful to those who use them. |

Historically, crystals have appeared in cultures across the world—from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to Indigenous traditions in the Americas and Asia. They were valued as tools for ceremony, protection, insight, and connection to the natural world. Lemurian quartz, in particular, is often seen as a “teacher stone,” encouraging mindfulness, remembrance, and intentional living.
Whether approached as a spiritual artifact, a meditative tool, or a symbol of harmony between nature and technology, Lemurian quartz continues to invite people into a slower, more attentive relationship with themselves and their surroundings. |
Double Terminated Crystals
Double Terminated crystals grow from a “seed” rather than breaking off a matrix. Naturally double-terminated quartz crystals have a much more enhanced healing capability compared to the single terminated quartz crystal. Naturally unpolished double terminated quartz crystals are smaller in size, 2 inch, to two and a half inch . And they make a powerful healing tool due to an ability to draw in, store, and release energy from both their ends at the same time. They can absorb, amplify and emit energy from both ends at the same time, making them a great stone for cleansing and balancing the Chakras, attuning to one's higher self, and relieving pain. They are also a good tool for astral projection and meditation, both for easing the effort required to get into a deep state of mind, and to afford protection from mental or physical harm. Even polished double terminated crystals which are 3 to 4 inch in size make for powerful healing tool as described above. All crystals (both single and double terminated) are capable of both sending and receiving, there is no “stop valve” inside which prevents the energy from flowing both ways. |

Vogel Shape Polished

Vogel crystals distinguish themselves through their extreme purity and through their precise cut. Their facets were precisely calculated and angled, this greatly enhances there natural ability to receive, store, and release information.
Marcel Vogel the founder of Vogel-Cut crystals experimented at first with liquefied crystals and cut into Vogel-Cut crystals. Marcels perception was that the Quartz crystal as a sender and receiver the way it comes out of the earth, is like a radio signal which has not been adjusted properly, there is a great addition of noise and the actual information signal can not be accurately transferred. To offset this disadvantage he has developed this so-called Vogel-Cut, and trademarked crystal. They are cut in such a way that they make the transfer of a precise signal possible. They are made so that they send out a coherent signal that is an equally oscillating electrical impulse and that makes them unique in their use for healing work. The more facets the stronger the spin of the energy and inner reflection, and the stronger the output of energy is from such a crystal. Vogel-cut crystals are different from natural quartz crystals, or most polished crystals; because they are cut exactly and precisely in their angles. They are cut along the growth access, and they must be cut in exact resonance to the vibration of water, and that makes them the special Vogel-Cut. Water has a specific frequency as measured on a radionics device. The Vogel-Cut Crystal is cut so that it comes to the same frequency, if both match exactly it is called a Vogel-Cut crystal. There are only two grinders in the world who have the ability to do that. Polished double terminated crystals bought on shows and fair have nothing to do with vogel cut crystals. Therefore they are named vogel shaped, or vogels. Find more information on the Vogel-Cut crystals HERE |
