Physical Characteristics: A silicon dioxide crystal. Hardness of 7. The quartz family (silicates) is quite large, and varieties are found all over the world. Quartz is piezoelectric--when pressure is applied it produces electromagnetic energy, and when electrical current is applied the crystal will oscillate. Quartz crystals have been harnessed in everyday items such as watches and cellular phones. This piece is a "twin" formation, two crystals forming separately but attached to each other.
Metaphysical Properties: Lemurian quartz crystals are said to be from Lemuria, and given to mankind at the appropriate time to bring us wisdom and understanding by connecting with the ancient civilization and opening the spiritual and emotional aspects.
