I am so excited to be able to share this new find with you! During the pandemic in 2020 I purchased this new find from Araçuaí, Brazil. As my followers know, I like to “get to know” a crystal and work with and share its “character” with you. I believe that a crystal will let us know when it is time to introduce them to the world. In the fall of 2023, they finally said now was the time!
As I mentioned, these were mined in 2020 and as of the writing of this blog post they were a one-time find. I’ve recently inquired if the mine has produced anymore and I’ve been told that as of right now the mine is closed. These were all mined together at the same time, so it is fun to be able to look at them all and see the different characteristics of the group.
Let’s talk science! I had these lab tested when they first arrived in 2020. When looking at them they seem to have different groups. 95% of the find are Morion Quartz, with the other 5% having a beautiful dark smoky phantom that almost encompasses the inner lemurian quartz. The second growth is a high luster white quartz, or a beautiful opaque white quartz with pearlescence. About 5% of the find have a natural coating of iron on them which give them a natural aura flash.
The lab report states: “This is an unusual specimen. Compositionally a very clean quartz. The inner quartz shows exposure to high volcanic heat with a second growth quartz with trails of secondary fluid inclusions. This shows evidence of drastic cooling in temperature. Trace elements of mica, hematite and aluminum were also found present, likely as part of the surrounding matrix. This is a very interesting specimen.”
What the lab report teaches us is that the presence of aluminum supports that this is a natural occurring rare morion quartz that was created through the high heat and natural irradiation in the earth. The outer white that you see on the second growth is actually caused by fluid inclusions, or one might call them enhydros. Technically an enhydro is only properly used when referring to water found in agates. The correct term in anything outside of agate is fluid inclusion. A fluid inclusion can be anything from water to oil. In this case, I think it is highly likely the inclusion is salt water. Some of the crystals have skeletal quartz like terminations in which you can see non-moving fluid inclusions. And in those cases, sometimes it appears that there is dried salt in some pockets. Very interesting!
Let’s talk about their energy now. I named these Yin Yang Lemurians because they are all about healing through balance. True, natural, morion quartz is actually very rare. Morion is said to aid one in “shadow work.” What one means by that is aiding one in facing the “darker” side of one oneself and helping to block self-imposed obstacles to healing. In my opinion, this is a part of what I mean by helping us to find balance. Morion quartz is also said to be very calming. I think these are wonderful crystals for anyone who is a healer or therapist. They help to balance overwhelming emotions and really help with anxiety attacks. I found these to be so calming I honestly expected the lab report to come back and say there was lithium!
Fluid inclusions are another rare element that Ying Yang Lemurians possess and shouldn’t be discounted in their energy profile. Fluid inclusions amplify, focus, and in my opinion, transmute energy. I think this is why these Yin Yang Lemurians help to balance our chakras so easily and are major healing crystals. I have received messages from our online community and they have mentioned that these Lemurians have helped them heal old emotional and spiritual wounds.
How does that work exactly? The other rare element to these crystals is that it seems that nearly all of them have record keepers. Record keepers are found either on the inner lemurian or/also on the outer coat. If you are looking to do Akashic Records work, I would highly suggest using these. When working with these to aid in healing emotional wounds, they ground you and balance you so that your higher self/soul can aid you in how to finally let that wound heal. You are your greatest healer!
Before bringing this to a close, I have to also mention the possible connection these also have to Pele / Pele Lemurians. The inner Lemurian resembles Pele Lemurians and I have found that they work so well with them. If you were part of my recent Instagram Live Sale you would have heard me mention that during a channeling session with these Yin Yang Lemurians I experienced Pele coming through while I was activating the crystals. I mentioned that more than once during my own energy healing with these crystals that I felt my upper body get very hot and my lower body was ice cold and within that there felt a perfect peaceful balance. After mentioning all of this, one of my followers mentioned the story of Poli’ahu and Pele. If you are curious and would like to read the moʻolelo (story) yourself you can do so here. It is interesting that these were crystals were formed with volcanic heat and then a very sudden cooling as happens in this story!
I hope that you find your own Yin Yang Lemurian to work with! A mantra that was given to me while working with these is found below. I hope you find it helpful!
Mantra:
Like Earth, I AM balance
Like Air, I AM free
Like Fire, I AM passion
Like Water, I AM serene

]]>Have you ever seen the phenonium of blue needles inside a Lemurian? I had not, and certainly did not have one in my own collection. You can imagine my excitement when I was offered a dozen of these Lemurians! These Lemurians are mined from Sento Sé, Bahia, Brazil. This is actually a mine that has been producing crystal clear Lemurians for some time. My supplier explained to me that many of the high grade Lemurians that are being sold as having been mined in Corinto, are actually from the Lemurian mine in Sento Sé and are driven to Corinto where they are sold. If you see other Blue Needle Lemurians being sold on the market from this point forward and it says the location is Corinto, this is your heads up that they are really from Sento Sé.
Let’s dive in more to the science behind what creates this blue like needle inclusions! Firstly, needle quartz is considered rare. In my opinion, it’s not necessarily extremely rare per se, but it is incredibly hard to find. I think that there is probably more of it out there, but you’ve got to be holding direct light onto clear quartz in such a way that it is noticed. Yes, that’s right. I’m saying that you might have some blue needle quartz in your own collections and don’t even know it! (Flashlight sales will now be on the rise on Amazon!) Taking the photos to display these crystals on the website was not easy, but your girl got it done for you!
Some have asked me if the blue needles are actually rutile? What you are seeing is not rutile, or even needles actually. Believe it or not, it is thin lines of trapped gasses. This effect that you are seeing has a name: the Tyndall Effect! The Tyndall Effect makes the thin lines appear blue. When light is directed in just the right way, light is scattered by particles in a colloid, or a very fine suspension. This is also similar to Rayleigh Scattering Effect. The blue light that you see is the blue light wavelength that is scattered much more strongly than a red-light wavelength. This is the reason why the sky is blue. Another example I like is the smoke that is emitted by motorcycles sometimes has a blue tint to it. That is because the engine oil is providing the particles needed, and thus the Tyndall Effect happens! This is also what happens with “Blue Smoke” Lemurians from Columbia. It is the same effect. Not likely the same gasses. The Blue Smoke Lemurians are also more “cloudy,” likely due to other mineral inclusions.
What I found fascinating about this cultivated group of Lemurians is how many of them are 7 faceted channeling crystals, Dow crystals or have manifestation crystals growing inside. Almost all of them show signs as well as having, or once having had fluid inclusions, which would make sense since gas also became trapped in these crystals as they grew. Another term that others use for Blue Needle Quartz is “Angel Feather” quartz. Aside from the visual similarities to feathers these inclusions have, I have to agree with the angelic part. These Lemurians, like all Lemurians are tools of ascension. Usually when you are working with crystals that work with your upper chakras you are going to connect to the angelic realm. It is the vibration that ascension tools generally work within. These lemurians are no different. What I have noticed in working with them is that they are so gentle, and grounding. The Dow crystal that I worked with enabled me to ground very deeply. I could feel the Lemurian connecting to my energy field and clearing anything out that prevented me from connecting to my higher self and my own Akashik Records. Sometimes that “ascension” can feel like you’ve been blasted up in a Six Flags ride, other times it can be very slow. Working with these I have noticed that it is a gentle ascension. If someone is wanting to try and begin work in channeling or in working within your Akashic Records, I would suggest one of these as tool for you to aid in that work.
You will notice that I took the time to go into detail on every listing about the special characteristics of each crystal. I have explained what a Dow is, what a 7 faceted channeling crytal is, a manifestator, etc. You can find them all listed here.
While working with these Lemurians I did ask during my channeling if they had any specific purpose or information to download to their eventual crystal allie (the person who will be working with the crystal). I was surprised by the answer because it is an area I myself have not given much attention to, at least in the terminology being currently used by other spiritual Gurus. The channeled message that I received is that these Lemurians have come forward during this time to aid us in the embodiment of 5D consciousness. I asked how we can do this and the answer was:
“We can embody 5D consciousness through aligning ourselves with unity, building one another up with kindness and compassion, reimagining new paradigms for the old structures that are no longer serving our greatest good and cultivating a greater oneness with Mother Earth. On an individual level it means knowing and owning the great power you have and using it for good. It means recognizing others as a part of you. It also means setting boundaries for yourself with others while allowing yourself to flow with the Universe.”
This was my own energy read and channeled message from this beautiful group of Blue Needle Lemurians. I look forward to hearing what YOU think of them and the knowledge you receive!

Welcome to Lemurian Starseed Crystals: 101! As we gain more followers on IG, I have noticed that I am being asked, “What is a Lemurian?” numerous times during the course of our Live Sales. (Harmless plug: follow us on IG @souloflemuria). It seems now is a good time to do a basic crash course into Lemurian Starseed Crystals! Please note, this blog post is going to cover the crystals themselves and will not be diving into the mythology of Lemuria. There are a lot of books and articles written on the mythological land of Lemuria and I encourage you to do some googling. One day perhaps I will write my own book on the subject matter, but we are going to focus on the crystals!
Lemurian crystals were originally found inside a mountain located in Sierra Do Cabral, in the Diamantina region of Brazil. Lemurian quartz have very distinctive growth lines across one or more of their side facets. These lines are known as striations. These striations are perfectly formed laddered grooves. They look very similar to bar codes. These striations generally have a very distinctive texture which can easily be felt.
The shape and structure of Lemurian quartz crystals is also distinctive. Traditional Lemurian crystals have a hexagonal base. Usually, the crystal will have three sides that taper inwards towards a triangular tip. The striations will appear on alternating facets. Generally speaking, the interior of the crystal is translucent. That does not mean however that there are not Lemurians that appear opaque. The photo above is an example of a rare natural double terminated frosty Lemurian from Sierra Do Cabral (NFS).
Lemurians can come in so many colors! These colors are usually influenced by the presence of other minerals during the growth stage of the crystal. Colors can be red, pink, golden, tangerine, even filled with chlorite that makes them green! They can also have a smoky hue, citrine, or like Dreamcoat Lemurians, they can be tipped with Amethyst! New discoveries are made every day which broadens the family tree of Lemurian crystals. Soul of Lemuria is honored to have been the first to introduce many new Lemurians to the world (ie. Unity Lemurians, Dreamcoat Lemurians, Pele Lemurians etc).
With all this said . . . striations do not make a Lemurian, and Lemurians may not have striations. Lemurians have been found in other locations and even other countries. That could be a subject of another blog post! However, the above is a good basic description of Lemurians. Now, let’s talk about their metaphysical properties.
Metaphysical Properties
I want to start off by pointing out that it has been 30+ years since Lemurian crystals were found, but it's important to start at the beginning! The term “Lemurian Crystal” was first coined in the early 1990’s by Katrina Raphaell. She connected these unusually marked quartz with a legendary spiritually advanced race of humans, known as the Lemurians. Again, if you would like to know more about the legend of Lemuria, a google search will set you on a deep dive!
According to Raphaell, this advanced race used crytals and encrypted each of the quartz with sacred messages of unity, healing and love. The original Lemurians then planted them in the Earth for future generations to uncover and decode. Being delicate and fragile in their formation, it is common for Lemurian crystals to naturally detach from their crystal clusters, and fall to the floors of Brazilian caves. Raphaell describes these crystals to be seeds of knowledge, planted for us. This is where the term “seed crystal” comes from. It was the opinion of Raphaell that Lemurian crystals could only be found in one location, and that was the original find in the Sierra Do Cabral mine. It is my personal opinion that thirty years has shed more information and other discoveries since the publication of Raphaell’s work and I think Lemurians have a lot to teach us about “labeling” and an expanded understanding of “oneness.”
In my view, all Lemurian crystals are tools of ascension. By that, I mean they are tools to help us grow spiritually and emotionally (and I would also say intellectually and some would also say physically). One of the universal experiences I always have with a Lemurian quartz is that they always open the heart chakra! Since these crystals have already been coded for a specific purpose, the other distinction is that you cannot “program” a Lemurian. One common way to meditate with a Lemurian is to hold it in your hand and move your thumb or pointer finger down the side terminations with the striations. These striations are considered to be "files," or downloads. Others also consider them to aid in connecting one to their Akashic Records.
Here are some other common Lemurians and what they are generally associated with:
Lodolite Lemurians (Garden Quartz)
Emotional Healing | Manifesting Dreams | Joy
There is something so special about gazing into these crystals! Also known as Garden Lemurians due to the mineral inclusions of chlorite (beautiful colors of green, yellow, white, pink and purple) it can look as if there is a whole world inside the crystal! These Lemurians hold the energy of both a lodolite and a Lemurian. That means they are great to assist you with manifesting your dreams, discerning your desires, often increase the lucidity of your dreams and may help with releasing emotional blockages that need healing. In my opinion, these are great crystal allies that can empower one with grace and tranquility in times of great transition.
Rutilated Lemurians
Ascension | Manifestation | Cleansing
Rutilated Lemurians are rare and a great combination! These Lemurians seem to aid with manifesting one’s dreams and desires. It’s almost as if the rutile acts as energy antenna’s that help focus on the right vibration to assist us in bringing things into our lives for the better!
I have also found rutilated Lemurians to be helpful in clearing stagnant energy. They have a cleansing and purifying effect on the aura field and mind. I also believe they are helpful in protecting us from negative energies and thoughts.
As all Lemurians, they also help connect us to the Divine and our Higher Selves.
Smoky Lemurian
Grounding | Protection | Manifesting | Clarity
Smoky Lemurians have the added benefit of grounding and purification. When you need to let go of something (thoughts, people, things that no longer serve us, etc) a Smoky Lemurian can be your new BFF. Smoky Lemurians help us remain grounded while expanding our higher states of consciousness.
Citrine Lemurian
Manifestation |Clearing | Problem Solving | Joy
Citrine is one of the minerals that does not hold negative energy. Rather, it dissipates and transmutes it. This means it never needs clearing or cleansing. Combine this with a Lemurian and I think you might just have the perfect crystal. These Lemurians are rare! In general, Citrine Lemurians want to WORK and work WITH you! They bring in the traditional attributes of citrine – manifesting, increasing “wealth”, etc. What I have found is that citrine Lemurians are really wonderful for problem solving! Especially in aiding one to figure out, how exactly did I get into this situation? Learn that lesson of why! Then aiding us in healing what needs to be healed so we can move beyond the blockages!
There are many other Lemurians I could write about, but this is a good basic introduction. I invite you to read other descriptions of Dreamcoat and Unity Lemurians and Pele Lemurians if you’d like to read up on more recent finds.
Whether you are interested in Lemurians because you are drawn to their energy, or you merely acknowledge the incredible geology behind the formation of these beautiful crystals, they are a wonderful addition to any crystal collection. Whether you purchase a Lemurian crystal from Soul of Lemuria, or somewhere else, I suggest you ask the seller to give you information on the origin of the crystal. A reputable seller should be able to tell you where the Lemurian was mined and what year. If they are claiming to have a rare mineral inclusion, have they had it lab tested? What were the results? As always, ask questions! Here at Soul of Lemuria we can tell you where the Lemurian was mined, what year and when needed, can provide lab test results for unique specimens.
Now I want to know what is your favorite Lemurian?!

To the best of my knowledge, and research, Blue Tara Quartz has only been found in one location: Ipupiara, Brazil. Mineral testing has already been done on this material by Little Lemuria, which you can read here. Prior to this, the only guess given (without minerological testing) was that it was a quartz composed mainly of Riebekite and Olenite. Thanks to this testing it was actually found that the mineral is in the tourmaline group!
After 9 long months of partnering with miners, manifesting, and a lot of faith and patience, a brand new location of Blue Tara has been found in Itacambira, Brazil! I will share the story of their location and my opinion of their metaphysical properties below. But first, I want to share the mineralogical testing.
Why did I have this material tested if the material from Ipuparia has already been done? One, it's from a different location in Brazil. Two, there was fibrious material present on not only the inside, but the outside of the quartz and I wanted to be sure this was not in the asbestos family and was safe. Third, I was excited to see any difference between the two locations.
Summary of testing results:
I would also like to use this teaching moment to correct a common misunderstanding. This material, due to the fibrous inclusions is often called an amphibole. The fibers found in both the Ipupiara and Itacambira are in the tourmaline group which is a cyclosilicate, whereas the amphibole is an insosilicate. That means that they are very different structurally as well as chemically. They do look visually similar, but that's where the similarity ends. Please join me and educate others that this is not an amphibole.
Above: Example of the fibrous tourmaline present outside the quartz.
The story behind this find:
On February 11 of this year I woke up from a wonderful dream of gorgeous blue cluster crystals. That day was also the one year anniversary of my decision to leave my full time job and really focus on energy healing and finding you the best crystals I could! After that dream, I knew that there were crystals calling! I messaged my friends in Brazil and said Blue Tara is coming! Thus began the hunt for these crystals. It's amazing the serendipity of events and people that had to meet in order to bring these crystals out of the ground. Clearly they were saying, "Hello, we are here and ready! Come find us!"
About 3 months into our search a miner decided to climb to the top of a mountain in Itacambira. There he found a small piece of Blue Tara and what proceeded was 6 more months of patiently and carefully bringing these crystals to the surface. The mining of this material is very slow and very hard. It takes on average 3 hours to climb to the top of this mountain. Miners must carry their food, provisions, and tools during this 3 hour climb, and then camp for long periods of time. There is NO blasting or oil fueled machines to mine this material. It is 100% mined by hand. You can tell when you look at these. They are so carefully and lovingly mined. It has been a wonderful experience to get to know the miners over these past months and share our wonder and love of these crystals. Soul of Lemuria also sent them food and provisions as a thank you for the care and hard work they are putting into bringing these crystals to us!
The crystals themselves are a crystal clear quartz with light blue to deep navy/midnight blue fibrous inclusions. The unique blue fibrous tourmaline that's also present outside of the quartz has a beautiful shimmer to it.
Now for those who are interested in the metaphysical, let's talk about their energy. These have a very strong connection to the element of water. In fact, the energy often feels like gentle lapping waves. When I unpacked the first peace I heard a name, definitely not in English. After a phone call with a friend in Brazil, I translated the word I was hearing: Iara. Go here to hear it said. I had never heard this name before and had no idea what it meant. Iara is the name given to the mythical mermaids of the Amazon! This Blue Tara also presents to me as a strong Yin (female) energy.
Working with this material I have noted that it stimulates the upper chakras: throat, third eye and crown. I would not say that these crystals remove blocks for you, rather, I would say that the energy assists you in whatever way you need to dive into whatever the blockages are so that you can clear the blockages. Personally, I have used the image of the mermaid to meditate with when using this Blue Tara to aid me in doing a "deep dive" into what I needed to self-heal. Their energy is clear and very awake, but not overwhelming. I have no doubt that they will call their person to them as they called me to find them!
These will be available during our Live Sale on IG on 11/11 @ 7pm ET

Dear SOL Family,
As I sit to write, I am blessed to be able to watch the sun set behind a cluster of trees bursting with beautiful gold and burnt sienna leaves. These trees remind me how beautiful and satisfying it is to let go! The trees are not resisting natures instruction to let go and hibernate so they can continue to grow and bloom anew. I am grateful for this insight, because October has personally been challenging for me. The collective energy has also felt heavy; big highs and really low lows.
This month’s SOL note is going to be a little different. In fact, it’s going to be October AND November’s SOL note. I am feeling the call to share personally on what I do to handle depressive energy. My intention is not to preach or even suggest that one should do what I do. It’s simply to say, here is my own struggle and what works for me. I hope you might find solace in knowing you aren’t alone, or you may draw inspiration for yourself. I would like to also share the results of some of my inner-soul work as there is a special gift I am feeling called to offer from now through November. Lastly, I will share a new Dreamcoat find that appeared during this time!
On a global scale, I feel ready to have a few consecutive days in a row where we are not experiencing a major historical event or global crisis. Are you with me? That wish aside, what does this do to the collective energy? By collective energy, I'm referring to the general energy of any given group or environment. As we know, everything has energy; the energy of our thoughts, beliefs and emotions all have a big impact on the collective energy. As someone who picks up on those energies, it has been a roller coaster!
The energy from Hurricane Ian was very intense before it even made landfall. If you were experiencing migraines around that time, I kindly offer that this may have been part of it. On a personal note, my family has had some hard news this month and my attention and assistance needed to be placed there. At one point I found that I was on emotional overload, exhausted and feeling very low. Over the course of the past few months, I have been writing in these SOL notes that we were entering a period of change, growth and ideological change (personally and globally). I recognized that I was feeling overload from the collective and bombarded on the personal front. I see this as my time to do the inner work for growth and healing that I've been telling everyone we are going to be given the chance to do. This is what I call soul work. As you may have noticed I stepped away for a bit in October and I sought help with trusted energy healers and others where I could process things in a healthy way. If I don’t do this, I can’t see myself through the weeds of the situation in order to do the soul work. For myself, when doing this soul work, it doesn’t look pretty. It isn’t necessarily quick, and in fact is a lifelong exercise. It isn’t clean and tidy. But it’s a commitment that I can renew every day. I also acknowledge the days that I just need to be, and push self-judgement to the exit ramp.
One important question I ask myself in times like this is: what DOES feed my soul? A big part of what feeds my soul is connecting with each of you. The work I do with crystals (finding them, clearing them, waking them) and helping you connect to receive messages that aid in growth and healing feeds my soul! As some of you know, part of that inner soul work has been trying to discern how best to share my channeled messages from collectives and what responsibility I hold with the accuracy of that message being morphed into something else once it’s shared. The discomfort my soul has had with this is not that my ego wants to receive credit. Rather, I feel a responsibility to the accuracy of the message.
I have felt guided to shift my focus at this time to working one-on-one with my clients and their crystals. I believe that when you feel that special pull to bring a crystal into your collection, it is for a reason. I love when I am given the opportunity to work together with a client and activate a crystal. What does this process look like? It is different with every person, but what I do is make sure the crystal is clear and if it is not, then I clear it and activate the crystal. This activation, or what I call “waking them up” was taught to me through an attunement I had while working and channeling lemurian collectives. What happens next can vary between people, but in general a message is given in how this crystal wants to work with the person. This can be in a very specific healing of trauma, or to aid in the healing of physical pain, or as a tool for your own attunement and soul’s growth. Sometimes there are specific messages attached, code activations, mantra’s, prayers and more.
I really feel that this is the best use for my gift at this time. To help celebrate this I am going to offer “Crystal Activation” sessions at a discounted rate ($33.33) from now through the end of November! These sessions will be one-on-one with me, over the phone or on zoom for up to 20 minutes. I only require that after you have purchased your session that you email a picture of your crystal and a recent picture of yourself. If you have a crystal that you’ve been a little iffy about, or one that you feel is trying to connect with you, this would be a great time to give this a try. This would also be great with any Lemurian! If you have been wanting to try this and find out what it is all about, now is the time! You can click here to book a session or learn more!
Speaking of crystals, it is no surprise to me that during this time of heavy energy comes a new find! Smoky Golden Dreamcoat Lemurians! These are 100% natural and they have been found in a new pocket in the Unity Lemurians mine in Cristalina, Brazil! Having worked with them, the difference I find between these and the other Golden Dreamcoat Lemurians is that these help with shadow work. They help to offer divine guidance and protection as you embrace the work you need to do. How do I know these were not heat treated? Let’s dive into this question and talk about facts.
During the Tucson Gemshow this year many shop owners were noticing that there was something off with the amount of polished golden citrine available. It’s not normal to have that much natural golden citrine. I shared that I was aware that there was indeed a new way they were heat treating crystals to get that golden color. Here are just the facts: In a text conversation with a fellow shop owner in 2020, I questioned the amount of citrine I was seeing coming out of Brazil. It was at this time I was told a new way of heat-treating citrine had been discovered using what we here call the Pele Lemurians. They had found that using naturally smoky citrine crystals and heating them in oil resulted in the smoky being removed and a pure golden citrine left behind. I personally view this as heat treating. I asked my suppliers if this was true and received confirmation.
Now, as you know earlier this year, I purchased more Red Dreamcoat Lemurians. It was during that conversation that I was told there were smoky red dreamcoats, but I was told by my supplier they “had been put in oil.” Here is a screenshot from that conversation.
It reads:
Me: thank you my friend, the money has been sent.
Them: Great. Thank you.
Them: Also there is smoky.
Me: Smoky what?
Them: The boy has brought smoky reds.
Me: Smoky? Wow! Amazing!
Them: The boy says they were put in the oil. I don’t think you want. Not natural.
Me: Oil? Do you mean they were polished or put in oil like heated?
Them. No no. no polish. Heat.
Me: Oh I see. Thank you for telling me.
So focusing on facts: that is what was shared with me. I do not know what oil or the process. Yes, I know how smoky quartz is irradiated in a lab. Given the information I had been given about the new way of removing smoky from citrine in oil, I felt it likely they found a new way here too. And thus, I shared my caution. It felt like the responsible thing to do.
That now brings us to this new find of Smoky Golden Dreamcoat Lemurians. Given all of the above, I was certain to make sure these were natural. I was sent videos of these being pulled from the earth and I know these are 100% natural. Helpful pro-tip: Did you know that one way of telling if a smoky quartz has been irradiated is by holding it up to light and looking for color variation? Natural smoky will have color variation.
These new Smoky Golden Dreamcoat Lemurians will be available during this weekends live sale on IG! Look for them to be in Saturday’s sale 10/22 starting at 7pm ET and Sunday’s sale 10/23 starting at 4:30pm ET.
Thank you for taking the time to read this SOL note! I hope you found something within it helpful and educational! Above all, know that you are not alone <3 Thank you for being the best SOL family!
Cheers, Jen
Let's talk about Adaptogens, a relatively "new" scientifically proven substance. I'd like to dive in by looking first at what adaptogens are, how the science developed and lastly the results of testing for adaptogens in crystals.
What does the term adaptogenic mean? According to Panossian and Wikman, “Adaptogens were initially defined as substances that enhance the ‘state of non-specific resistance’ in stress, a physiological condition that is linked with various disorders of the neuroendocrine-immune system. Studies on animals and isolated neuronal cells have revealed that adaptogens exhibit neuroprotective, anti-fatigue, antidepressive, anxiolytic, nootropic and CNS stimulating activity. In addition, a number of clinical trials demonstrate that adaptogens exert an anti-fatigue effect that increases mental work capacity against a background of stress and fatigue, particularly in tolerance to mental exhaustion and enhanced attention.” These adaptogens have been found in herbs, mushrooms and stones!
How do we know that adaptogens are in stones? In the early 1900’s a new method of testing subtle energies was developed in France, called Vibrational Radiesthesia. From this testing they were able to distinguish a 12 spectrum band of subtle energies, called the Universal Vibrational Spectrum. These subtle vibrational bands of energy were found to effect all living beings: physically, energetically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.
In the late 70’s/80’s the work of the French Radiesthesiasts was expanded when Dr. Ibrahim Karim developed his BioGeometry® system. This centering vibration works to balance and harmonize the different specialized energies of the Vibrational Spectrum present in any person, place, or thing. BioGeometry is a science that deals with the Energy of Shape; it uses shapes, colors, motion, orientation, and sound to produce a vibrational quality that balances energy fields.
With this new discovery, attention was turned from plant adatogens to the possibility of adaptogens in the mineral world. The result was finding that yes, indeed, there are crystal adaptogens! In doing my research for this blog, I found it surprising to learn that the more common stones (to date) like clear quartz, amethyst, tourmaline, etc, are not adaptogenic. They can however amplify the effects of an adaptogenic crystal.
According to Pur Crystal, which has done its independent testing on adaptogenic crystals, their research has discovered that there are relatively few natural minerals that have the vibrational markers of a true adaptogen. To quote Pur Crystal, “Many of the most amazing Crystal Adaptogens come from small deposits, so they may only be available on the market for a short time before the deposit runs out. These special stones are sometimes found at locations which may be remote and hard to access. This raises the possibility that these stones attained their Adaptogenic qualities because they grew in the ground at locations which have unusually beneficial natural vibrations — what are sometimes considered “Sacred Power Spots” by native traditions — which imparted to these Crystals their strong Centering Vibration.”
I am thrilled to be able to have secured 100% natural, unpolished genuine BG3 Adaptogenic Citrine from the Piaui Mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The citrine that is found in this small mine has been tested and been found to be adaptogenic. I cannot stress enough how difficult it is to source, not to mention the museum quality of this citrine! Below is a picture taken by the miners, right after mining this citrine. You can see the dirt still on it! This citrine is so clean and clear it did not go through the process that almost all crystals that hit the market go through: an acid dip to get rid of other mineral impurities.
While every Adaptogenic Crystal is similar in that it has a high intensity centering vibration, they are all different due to their diverse Secondary Vibrations. Below are a few examples:
Do you have an Adaptogenic crystal? If you do, I'd love to hear your experience with them!

]]>Dear SOL family,
Here we are, welcoming in another Mercury Retrograde today! Mercury Retrograde is an optical illusion which means it looks as if the planet is moving backwards from our view here on Earth. People associate this time with disruptions in technology and communication. It can be a bit of a damper on the end of summer mood. Astrologer Vanessa Henry puts a spin on one’s viewpoint during Mercury Retrograde that I agree with. She suggests that Mercury Retrograde doesn’t cause us to make more mistakes, rather it helps us find the mistakes we have already made. It’s a time to course correct those mistakes that are shown to us. We can reflect, renew, relax, rest, slow down and heal.
Now, if you do not mind, I’m going to shift a little. Last month I shared a channeling that I did with Archangel Metatron. Some of you reached out with questions and I thought it would be nice to share the responses I have.
If you have not read last month’s SOL Note you can do so here. In regards to the ongoing shift that we are all experiencing in human consciousness, I received a couple questions wanting to know how natural disasters, climate change, etc., weave into this shift? What I love about Metatron’s personality is that he gets right to the point. And so, right to the core of this question, he asks: why are you operating out of fear? Change comes in many forms. Part of the shift we are going through there is natural change. Yes, it does mean that the Earth is going through changes as well. We are going to experience natural events. He encourages us to see these as events that wake us up – not wipe us out.
I asked if there was any general advice he wished to give at this time and he iterated his encouragement to release your fears. Fear itself is a repellant for what we do want, at the same time it attracts exactly what we are afraid of and do not want. I asked him what is the cure to fear and his response was: self-love; when you do not love yourself you do not trust Source. When you do not trust you give entry to fear.
I told you – he’s pretty direct. I hope it is received well and aids you in your journey! I look forward to reading your thoughts!
Cheers!

Earlier this August, Soul of Lemuria and Dr. AnaLouise Keating hosted a joint IG live to discuss Fascia (FA-shuh). We know it is a connective tissue that’s often been overshadowed by muscles, tendons, and ligaments. As AnaLouise pointed out during the live, it’s one thing to know what fascia is, and a whole different thing to really understand fascia. I am delighted to publish our first guest blog, by AnaLouise in which she goes over highlights from our conversation, as well as providing some helpful resources! ~ Jen
Fascia is an under-rated though crucial part of all living bodies. Until fairly recently, scientists and doctors overlooked fascia’s importance–treating it instead as a type of packing material to be cut through in order to access the “important” parts–the bones, organs, nerves, and so on. However, fascia is essential and serves many vital functions.
Fascia is ubiquitous throughout our bodies. Fascia is everywhere! (Indeed, it’s fascia’s ordinary, all-pervasive quality that lead researchers to overlook its importance.) Fascia is a single, sentient organ that wraps around nerves, muscle layers, organs, etc. As David Lesondak, a leading researcher, notes, “the fascial net is one continuous structure throughout the body.” Fascia is sturdy yet flexible; it “surrounds and penetrates every muscle, coats every bone, covers every organ, and envelops every nerve. Fascia keeps everything separate yet interconnected at the same time.” Not surprisingly, fascia is also called “connective tissue”: it literally connects everything in our bodies.
Fascia is the largest organ in our bodies. It takes a variety of forms, from the web-like, flexible layer directly beneath the skin; to the thin sheaths wrapped around muscle fibers; to the thick cord-like tendons and the sliding layers that wrap around our organs. Researchers often describe fascia as viscous to underscore its plasticity, its ability to move and be reshaped. Both a fiber and a fluid, fascia is malleable.
Fascia has four main functions: (1) shape, (2) communication, (3) movement, (4) supply. First, fascia gives our bodies shape. It’s not the bones that holds us together; it’s our fascia, connecting bones to each other, to muscles, to organs, etc. Second, fascia is a communication system, sending information from one part of our body to another; and informing our bodies of how to move through the world (proprioception). As Daniel Fenster explains in Free Your Fascia, fascia is “a body-wide communication network. Your fascia sends every part of your body constant information about your position, your movements, and your internal milieu. Your fascia contains 10 times more sensory nerve endings than your muscles, making it one of the body’s most powerful sensory organs.” Third, fascia facilitates movement. Our fascia creates “kinetic chains,” long lines of
connective tissue that allows the parts of our bodies to move. And fourth, fascia supplies nutrients and hydration throughout the body. (The research is on-going; it’s likely that fascia performs additional functions as well. For instance, I believe that working with the fascia can assist us in accessing our innate wisdom or intuition.)
Healthy fascia has a lattice-like structure (kind of like a fishnet, with even spacing and rows), making it what researchers call “organized.” However, stress, trauma, sedentary lifestyles, and bad habits (slouching, hunching over our electronic devices, etc.) wreak havoc on our fascia, drying it out, making it “disorganized.” This disorganization can lead to restricted movement, sore muscles, compromised immune systems, and more. (Often, when we complain that a muscle feels tight, it’s not the muscle but rather the fascia that has dried, shrunk, or thickened, creating additional stress on the muscles. Or consider that people sometimes develop hunched shoulders or rounded backs as they age: changes to the fascia typically play a huge role in these postural changes.)
Fortunately, fascia is incredibly resilient. We can keep our fascia healthy--and make it healthier--by drinking lots of water, moving our bodies regularly, and stretching. I’ve incorporated a regular yin yoga practice and meditation with fascia jasper into my own health routine. The more time I spend working with and learning about fascia, the more grateful I become for its amazing attributes.

Dear SOL family,
For this month’s SOL note I am going to do something I do not normally do publicly, and that is share one of my channeled messages. In last month’s SOL note I shared with you a few major themes: that we were entering into a time of personal change with huge opportunities for growth and even bigger fundamental and ideological change for some. I also mentioned that we needed to expect some big truths coming to light both globally and personally. Since last month I think we can all agree that the latter has been happening in big ways that could possibly even change the course of politics and governmental systems. Accountability has arrived.
The energy that I briefly touched upon continues into this month, but I share with you a loving message from the Archangel Metatron.
Greetings Conduit of Source,
Carry this message to the consciousness of humanity for assistance in the transition taking place globally. On August 11, in conjunction with the super full moon, there will be an energy upgrade in consciousness for all levels of humanity. It matters not where they are on their life path. The upgrade is global. This is something to celebrate and not fear. The lions gate remains in its peak until the 14th of August and this strengthens the super full moon. On August 11, do not distress. If something breaks, it can be healed. If something ends, there will be new life. . .
Humanity is in alignment for change. This is a most sacred time. Change and creation go hand in hand. I encourage you to be honest with yourself and others most especially now. What is foremost in your minds? What are you about? How do you fit into the greater web of humanity’s interconnected consciousness? Where are you needed?
Open yourselves to the universal upgrade of this super moon. Release the fears and blockages that imprison you and leave them behind.
This time of transformation is a sacred time to look within. Have you felt the pull to do so? You are embarking on paths humanity has not been before. Do not expect perfection. Some of you are working hard in your minds and bodies, worried about what happened in the past or what is to come. You’re running and running and getting nowhere. Please stop trying to control; stop putting your energy into what was and what is to be. Use your ability to look inside yourselves and connect to your soul. Have you not learned yet that all the different distractions, decisions, and roads all lead to the soul? In this new paradigm, new shift in humanities evolution the soul leads the way. When you connect into your soul you are strengthening the threads that weave humanities consciousness. - Archangel Metatron 8/9/2022
I hope this message is received well. Personally, I find it uplifting and powerful in the sense that the experiences we are having are part of the journey of consciousness. It is not something to fear, we are co-creators.
Does this resonate? Have you been feeling the invitation to look within? Have you been wanting to get in touch with your soul's desire? What wisdom does your soul have to share with you? With humanities consciousness? I look forward to hearing how!
Cheers!

Dear SOL family,
I have been reminded of a quote from Deepak Chopra taken from his book, The Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheroes: Harnessing Our Power to Change the World. He writes, “…superheroes balance the forces of light and dark, rage and serenity, and the sacred and the profane within themselves and from it forge an identity that is powerful and purposeful.” Have someone hold your beer friend, because we have merged into a whole new era and it’s time to zip up that superhero suit (bejeweled in crystals of course)! Let’s dive in…
Take a look at the photo above. This was a reading I decided to do to help me sort through the big energies I was feeling and guide me in transforming emotions into language. The Ace of Cups here is in a position representing what the energetic theme is for us as a collective in July. I intuitively feel that the Ace and the 3 of cups give a nod to the worldwide discourse that is happening around the right to life. What I am very happy to see is that there is an uplifting message here! The Wheel acknowledges that it’s a time when we do not know where the wheel will stop and what will happen when it does. We know that it’s natural to expect some hard times ahead of us, but we are being guided to the new relationships and partnerships that are going to help see us through this. You may be finding that this month literally marks a new start in your life or ideology. It is a new chapter of genesis for you, guided in a foundation of love. This is a kind of love that makes us hum to life and set us into motion. All one needs to do is open their hearts to it and allow it in. When we allow divine love in, creation flows. New ideas come to life. What vague new ideas or feelings are starting to stir in you?
For myself, I have been reminded of my time working with undergraduate students in Washington, DC. The rite of passage when one attends any orientation, club, class or social gathering is the dreaded ice-breaker. My go to easy ice-breaker was: “If you could have any superhero power what would it be?” I always said teleportation, because I maintain that would be AH-MAZING! But I remember one Sophomore who answered “honesty.” His reasoning he said was that it was the simplest thing to do, but sometimes honesty took a superhero to speak, especially in difficult times. We joked of course of him starring in a reality version of Liar Liar and his uncanny resemblance to Jim Carry! All joking aside, he had a very valid point and it’s the energy I have felt propelling us forward as a collective the end of June and into July. The truth spoken out of love. This is what I see as the tower card: the light of truth beaming its light into the shadow parts of ourselves and the world. Lies and falsehoods falling apart. What happens when they fall apart and speak the truth out of love? We raise our vibration/ the worlds vibration.
The Judgement card is the invitation to shed any negative facades we or the collective have been holding onto. It’s time to drop the masks behind the masks. No more faking it. This is a profound act of self-acceptance and an opportunity for complete authenticity. Remember, you are a walking miracle! You are composed of stardust! Why then hide your true self? After all, when we awaken to our truth, the gift we are given is the realization that the only acceptance that affects our ascension is the one that lives within our own hearts.
Now, let me speak the truth out of love. All of this I talked about, do you know what it takes? Work. No one else can do it for you. Take this as the invitation from the Universe you have been looking for.
As I draw this note to a close, I can’t help but to think about that ice-breaker once again. Being older and wiser now I know that we already have all the power we need within ourselves. So, I leave you with this question SOL family…what superhero power of yours is your favorite?
Cheers!
Jen

Dear SOL family,
Before you read on, take a deep breath because you deserve it! We have survived two eclipses and Mercury Retrograde ends today, June 3rd! If you are a Taurus, Gemini or Virgo go get yourself a Mega Pint, because you have been going through it the past month! So, collectively, let’s take a deep breath! Freedom!
Coming off the energy of the past month and going into the next reminds me of one of my favorite places at the beach as a child. Past the penny candy store and arcade sits a beautiful carousel. Built in 1928, it is gilded in gold and the carvings seemed life-like to me as a child. Have you ever heard the expression, reach for the brass ring? Well, this was the game played while you rode the carousel. Staying balanced on your horse (or carriage of choice) you grab the rings and see if the Wheel of Fortune has granted you the brass one! If you grabbed the brass ring, you won a free ride! I was always too paranoid of falling off, or thinking of all the things that could go wrong! I don’t remember what changed for me, but one day I got out of my own head and reached for that brass ring! And you know what? I may not have found the brass ring, but I found confidence and enjoyed the fun energy of the moment! That in-and-of itself is a gift! The energy of June is offering us the brass ring if we can get out of our own way and reach for it! And I don’t know about you, but I am ready for it!
As part of that readiness, I’d like to talk about gratitude and compassion. Gratitude and compassion are key components to manifesting abundance. Honestly ask yourself how open are you right now to two-way abundance? By that I mean, giving AND receiving? I think the energy that we might run up against and be invited to heal is the energy of hoarding. I don’t necessarily mean physical items, but more so our intentions and actions. Are we giving all the help we can, but refusing to accept it? Ask yourself why? We know that helping others (generally) makes us feel good. It stems out of abundance and is heart centered. Being generous with everything you have learned opens the flow of abundance from the Universe. But it cannot be one sided. In all things there is a sacred duality. Consider the sacred duality here: learning and teaching; receiving and giving; accepting and offering. Are you hoarding one more than the other? If so, ask yourself why? What is at the root of that? What am I being invited to heal?
Something to also be mindful of in June is the balance found in our relationships. Are we also honoring the sacred duality here? Partnerships (of all kinds) are a sacred gift. Are you seeking to give fully in these relationships without weakening your own ability to remain whole? How are your boundaries? I think this month would be a wonderful check-in time to ask ourselves how are we doing on radical self-love? By radical self-love I mean the counter-social emphasis on caring for yourself and accepting yourself just as you are: the light and the shadow. Self-love, after all, is the key to balancing the duality of any relationship.
As I mentioned in the beginning, June has birthed a go get it energy for the month. Consider this your invitation to the party, because it’s time to embrace all this month has to offer and go for that brass ring! Synchroneity is afoot and I see June bringing opportunities to propel us forward – if we reach for it! Follow the bread crumbs the universe is giving you and hug serendipity when it happens! Here is a simple mantra for the month: “I allow the transformative energy of June to help me expand my experience.” Feel free to edit that specifically for yourself. Example: change out the word experience for something more specific. I like the word experience here because it is a word of movement and does not limit the abundance I want coming into my life. But that is ME! You can edit it whatever way you want! There is no wrong way to do it!
Go for those brass rings my friends and let me know what happens when you do!
Cheers!
Jen

Aia lā ‘o Pele i Hawai‘i ‘eā (Pele is in Hawai‘i)
Ke ha‘a mai lā i Maukele ‘eā (She is dancing at Maukele)
‘Ūhī‘ūhā mai ana ‘eā (She rumbles and mutters)
Ke nome a‘e lā iā Puna, ‘eā (As she consumes Puna)
‘Owaka i ka lani, nokenoke (Flashing in the heavens, on and on)
Ē Pele ē Pele ē. (O Pele, Pele.)
Preface:
As I begin, I want to share that this blog is very personal to me. I feel as if I am writing a written hula; inviting the reader to enter the dance of this dream with me and the energy of these sacred crystal allies. I invite you to experience it as such!
Background:
Towards the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020 I purchased a new find what would come to be known as Ancient Etched Lemurians (or Scriptures as they are called in Brazil), along with the Red Dreamcoat Lemurians and Cora. These all arrived at the same time. Talk about energy, right?! During that same time frame, I started experiencing my first “encounters” with the Goddess Pele. Now, two years later, with experience and time it is easier to put all these connections together. These first encounters with Pele, to put it frankly, was actually rather exasperating. For example, my debit card repeatedly began disappearing out of my wallet. Not once, twice or three times, but four! What I have come to know is that those exasperating “pranks” were Pele’s love language. Following this I began experiencing very vivid dreams. I would wake up in the early hours and have this persistent need to draw what I had seen. None of it made sense at the time of course…
The dream: (Taken directly from my journal)
“I just dreamt that I was brought in to a lush beautiful place. Tropical. Palm Trees. Vibrant colors. I could feel the grass under my feet and smell the earth. In front of me I saw a woman, and to her left I was surprised to see my ancient lemurian we call Mother. The woman appears to me as an older woman, maybe 50? We are the same height. She has strong arms and she has a full figure. I recognize her as the woman I have come to know as Pele. I believe she was wearing a red garment and she motioned for me to come forward. I was happy to see her. As I stood in front of her, she held out a lei to me and I took it and put it on. I remember vividly putting my hands over the flowers and thinking how beautiful they were. They were red and the petals looked like they were the needle-like feathers of a bird before the feathers fully unfurl. When she gave me the lei I felt this love, acceptance and trust in what was happening.
Pele then sat down on a bench made of grass and placed her hand on mother and looked at the crystal in an affectionate, loving way. She then looked at me and told me to start digging. I got onto my hands and knees and began digging fervently with my bare hands. I felt an urgency. I began digging and digging. I remember how rich and dark the soil was and could smell the rich earth. I kept on digging and began feeling cramping in my abdomen. I began pulling a large black lemurian from the earth. I looked down and there was a cloth next to me and without thinking I swaddled the lemurian like a new born. I began feeling such joy and pride. I looked up to Pele offering it to her. She shook her head no and I saw that she was cradling my Ancient Lemurian. She looked at me and said “dig dig dig.” I could hear her humming and singing in the background. She began laughing, and I knew she wasn’t laughing at me, but laughing at how dirty I was getting. As I dug, I pulled out more and more of these black lemurians. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up. Pele was now in front of me still holding mother. She told me, ‘You have a job to do. Now go and bring them forth.’ Then a red dragon that I associate with the red dreamcoats landed beside me. I gathered the black lemurians in my arms and climbed onto the red dragon and we flew away.
Awake now and I can still feel the weight of those crystals in my hand. The black crystals are the yang to the ancients ying. They will bring balance thru transformation. This dream = sacred. Find the crystals. Wake them. Share them.”
Following this dream, I felt a sacredness about it and a feeling that I was to keep it to myself untiI I felt permission to share this dream. That very morning after the dream I contacted my friend in Brazil and said there are going to be black lemurians! He said, “no no no Jen, smokey quartz in Brazil doesn’t get naturally black.” I said, “Well, they exist. I think they are going to be in either the Cristalina mine with the Red Dreamcoats or Diamantina, with the Ancients.” He said, “ok I will tell them to keep an eye out.” Within ONE week I get a message from my friend, “Omg they found black lemurians at the end of the red dreamcoats!”
With a little help from our friends…
For over a year these crystals were referred to as “Jen’s Dream” in Brazil. I felt it was more appropriate to call them Pele’s Dream…and so a name was born. When they arrived and I unboxed them I fell in love. I worked with them for about a year before I felt they were ready. What kept me hitting the pause button was that I felt I was missing something important. One day as I was holding one, I was looking at it’s beautiful red “blossoms” and it reminded me so much of the red flowers from the lei in my dream. At this point I honestly knew nothing about the spirituality, legends, and stories of Hawaii. I tend to not google anything so information that comes to me is clear. Looking at those “blossoms,” I felt it was important I reach out to the SOL Family and ask if anyone in Hawaii would be willing to help me on a project. Enter our dear friend, Brooke Peters! Brooke lives in Honolulu, Hawaii, and is fourth generation Hawaiian, but not native to Hawaii. I explained to Brooke that I did not want to unknowingly appropriate the beautiful culture and spirituality of the Hawaiian people, but I truly wanted to learn to help me understand what I was missing. Brooke was so patient with her time and her resources! She also helped by reaching out to her sister, Kaleo. For privacy, Kaleo’s last name is not being shared here, but she herself is a direct descendent of Pele as her last name ends in Pele. Kaleo has her Masters in Hawaiian culture and language. She is fluent in Olelo Hawai’I and is also a Hula dancer. As Brooke pointed out, this is an important factor, as she was able to describe accurately the Hawaiian words and story of Pele that kept coming up consistently in my dreams and paintings.
Transcripts from our Instagram Live…
On July 31, 2021 Brooke joined me for an Instagram Live introducing these crystals. Here is part of the transcript from what she explained:
Brooke began by saying, “When I first heard Jen’s dream, I experienced a wave of overwhelming emotion. I felt truth. This was Pele. She came in this different form because of the Ancient Lemurian crystal that was with her – it was a balance. The description of the crystal and the lei, its Pele’s sister: Hi’iaka-i-ka-poli-o-Pele, who was born of an egg and Pele took with her to Hawaii. I asked Jen if an egg resonates.”
I answered Brooke and told her yes, actually. It is one of the first drawings I had a compulsion to do.
Brooke shared that Kaleo believes that this was Hi’iaka being shown to me, and that she was shown to me in the form of the egg to explain the balance of energy that was needed to be used and worked with between the feminine of Hi’iaka (Ancients) and the masculine (Pele’s Dream). The dragons and fire energy (Red Dream Coats and Cora) is for what is to come.
Who is Pele?
Brooke continued, “Hawaiian spirituality has Goddesses and they are looked at with respect. They are parents in the ultimate respect. 4 main God/Goddess – Pele is right below the 4 main Gods. However, Pele is so well known there is this power and energy around her. She is so beloved and respected in the world because of her energy. Her younger sister is her beloved, Hi’iaka. Family is very important to Pele. There is no Pele without her little sister. There is no lava without the rebirth. It is the ying and the yang. Pele is strong, she is a leader. She will command you. If she appears to you, there is work to be done. I think the dream is a confirmation that this was real. The lei was to confirm this was Pele, and to confirm that she is giving Jen Aloha. Pele is welcoming (Jen) into her loving embrace and into her family. Instructing Jen to dig is her movement. In fact, this is even a saying in Hawaii “eli eli” dig, dig!” (This comes from the God Lonomakua, Pele’s beloved Uncle, one of the 4 primary Gods who gifted Pele the stick named Paoa (digging stick) to aid in controlling her power of creating fire and earth. She used this stick to dig into the earth and bring forth lava and create more land.)
Brooke went on to say, “I believe Pele is confirming that she has this work for Jen to do. Her sister is part of that balance. It is the energy of the crystal Mother. The fern, the flower, the birth, the creation of life. That is her sister. Hi’iaka is loyal, loving caring, dedicated. Hi’iaka has the power to restore the spirit and the body. I think the dragons: the Red Dreamcoats are connected so strongly – they have a water dragon energy. In Hawaii, the Mo’o is a dragon lizard God which came before Pele. They are old spirits; they are able to change from the dragon to human form. Most are female. They are water protectors, springs, waterfalls. So, there is a connection to that too”
This was the Red Dreamcoat dragon I painted after the dream.
Let’s clear up the confusion . . .
As mentioned, these crystals were found in the late spring of 2020 in the Red Dreamcoat mine in Cristalina, Brazil. As they came to the end of the Red Dreamcoats they began finding what would become known as the Pele Lemurians growing on the wall. Four friends were the miners who brought the Red Dreamcoats and Pele Lemurians to the surface. The Pele Lemurians are not a small pocket find! Due to Covid, weather conditions, and an assortment of other things, the miners stopped mining and divided the large number of crystals they mined between the four of them. I purchased the first two shares and I offered part of that to another shop. I was also offered the roots that they found and purchased those solely. I was offered to purchase the 3rd share, but that miner had decided to have them polished. I passed on my impression from Pele that polishing these crystals is not the thing to do. When the 4th miner decided to sell his share, I arranged that I would purchase this as well. Ultimately, I purchased 75% of this lot and 25% went to two other shops. I have received messages from my IG followers about creative wording regarding this find being mined out now. For this blog, I have confirmed that there are more Pele’s in that mine. When conditions and the energy is right, I feel more will be mined. I also do not think we have seen the last of new finds from that mine. If anyone is claiming to have the last, they have the last of their stock. I hope that clarifies things for everyone
The variety found in these crystals . . .
In regards to these being called Black Lemurians, I also have to disagree here. 80% of this find is indeed a deep dark smokey citrine, but about 15% is a gorgeous natural golden citrine, and about 5% is a light smokey. If you purchased a citrine or light smokey, you have indeed purchased from the same find. Another tell-tale marking on the Pele Lemurians are red hematite “blossoms”, which we have explained in the live the symbolism being the Ohi’a Lehua flower. This flower grows on the first tree that springs up from recent lava flow. It’s for that reason that Hawaiians refer to people who are skilled, strong, and beloved as pua lehua, or lehua flowers. Is this not the perfect way to describe these crystals? About 90% of the find that I have seen have these blossoms. Additionally, just like the Dreamcoats, some of them (maybe only 5%) have these beautiful large second growth druse growing along the main side of the crystal. Similar to the Ancient Etched Lemurians some of the Pele’s also have that “tv antennae” rutile that we find in the Ancients. I also have a few that I question may have had calcite on them like the Ancient Etched Lemurians.
Let’s talk about activating their energy…
Something that is interesting, if you go here you can view the large Ancient grid I did activating all my Ancients with “Mother” at the center. I received the instruction for this grid from Pele. Look at the flowers I used! I remember seeing red in my vision but these were the closest I could get in June of 2020 in New England!
Every Pele that leaves my care is lovingly cleared and awakened. A key part of that process is that I activate it using Mother, who Kaleo believes encompasses the divine feminine energy of Hi'iaka. In my opinion, this really is crucial because the Pele Lemurians carry a divine masculine energy and activating them this way brings balance.
On their own, the image these Lemurians give me are warriors. Protective and ready when you call upon them. The markings on these Lemurians are very interesting. Many of them have hydrothermal etchings on the facets, and almost always within those hydrothermal etchings are record keepers allowing us to access the Akashic records of the Universe. Some of the Pele Lemurians also have etchings just like the Ancient Lemurians. We also find starbrary and multiple galactic languages. These are said to connect to different star systems. This may be surprising to you; however, I don’t feel the need to dive into the different languages on these. If you want to do that research, I encourage you to do so and hope you enjoy learning more. However, I feel that the message here is about universality; not wanting to claim any one location – not being of just one tribe. I go back to the image of the egg in the universe, seeding life everywhere. As I mentioned above, these are not the crystals I think should be polished. As I mentioned, I think they have the personality of a warrior. The markings are the tattoos of their life’s journey. They are supposed to be “imperfect.”
When cleared and activated, these are crystals of Ascension. What I’m about to explain here I explained a year ago, but I’m able to give a more detailed explanation here. In my opinion all Lemurians are tools of Ascension, they just work in different ways. The Ancients themselves connect to the 8th chakra, the Soul Star Chakra. On their own I believe that the Pele Lemurians connect to the lower chakra, below your root chakra. If needed, you can connect to any of those lower chakras located below your root chakra. When activated or used with an Ancient, you find balance, or think of it like connecting two circuits. In doing so, it allows those who have the ability to connect to Source, or whatever you prefer to use as a name. For some, this is going to come with clear visions, and for others it’s going to gently guide. Again, these are all about balance and not overwhelming you.
Alternatively, these can also be brought into energy healing to assist the healer and/or the client to access the knowledge needed for the healing to take place. I do not mean the crystals themselves do the healing. I am referring to them allowing the information to flow appropriately.
Working with these crystals you might also feel compelled towards water and music! Here is my suggestion – follow the compulsion! Good times to follow!
I want to thank my IG followers for all the feedback you have given over the past year about your experiences with these crystals. I also appreciate that you feel the need out of fairness and from a good place in your hearts to notify me that you feel others are sharing my reading of these crystals without giving me credit for the work I have done. Thank you for the concern, but don’t worry. I shared the knowledge last year privately with my followers. I hope that others have had meaningful experiences and shared what those are for others to take inspiration and knowledge. When all is said and done, the message isn’t really from me. It’s from Pele. And I believe that message continues to be revealed, but that’s a blog post for another time!
SOL Family stories of working with Pele Dream Lemurians:
A big thank you to our friends below who have taken the time to share their experiences with their Pele Dream Lemurians purchased from Soul of Lemuria. Do you have a story you would like to share? I would love to hear! Please leave it in the comments below. Alternatively, I also welcome comments and questions below too!
“I’d like to give a review about one of the amazing Crystals I have purchased from Jen @souloflemuria. I practice Second Level Crystal Therapy along with my Holy Fire lll Usui and Karuna Reiki® training through the International Center for Reiki Training. Crystals are a very active part of what I do in my healing sessions. I bought a Pele crystal that I use with many others. This crystal came fully awake and ready for duty. No kidding!! Working with newly diagnosed and post cancer clients, this Crystal has been a true tiger in its ability to work with me jointly in giving treatments. I find the energy of the Pele crystal a true warrior …ready to charge forward to release its vibrational frequency in a healing session. A full body warmth happens quickly with the synchronization of Holy Fire lll Reiki. The fire in both work together beautifully! I’ve achieved much pain release, peace and comfort after a session. I have been delighted in this specific crystal purchase as I needed a strong masculine crystal energy to support me in my practice. It’s a major player in my “Toolbox.” All of Soul of Lemuria’s crystals that I have and use are great Crystal Allies and come ready, willing, and very Sentient which I sincerely appreciate. Thank you Jenn. Keep up the good work in bringing amazing crystals that have abilities they are out of the box ready to share.”

“I find the Pele (Lemurians) very helpful in using (during) my dream time to receive ideas and messages. I especially like the roots!!! Not sure why I like them so much but I do. I can connect with the roots more easily. My roots make me happy when I hold them. My recent experience with the Pele’s has been sleeping with them alongside Red Jasper. I sleep better using the Red Jasper. I have long work days and need to help my brain disconnect from devices I use all day long at work (zoom, documenting private practice notes etc.)
Recently I restarted sleeping with my Pele root. Bees then started showing up in dreams and in my life. In dreams, bumble bees have been showing up and leading me through a set of secret rooms that I forgot about. This is a repetitive feature of a dream I have had before. My mother (who has been deceased since 1987) shows up. I feel her presence is to remind me that there is lineage process underway. My grandmother was very aware, and my mother as well. The entrance to the secret rooms starts in my mother's closet in the house I grew up in. My version of a shamanic entrance.
I have the impression that the Pele (Lemurians) are amplifying some of the info in accordance with my prayers for clearer guidance. I also feel they are open to sharing but also are guardians of the access points to information. I get the same feeling about them as the Bees. Bees to me are guardians of the creation information.
I mentioned my dreams to my partner and then he started dreaming of bees as well. I mentioned the bees to my coworker and then the next morning they were in the office; escorted it safely out of the hermetically sealed building! I am not sure, but feel that I am now the amplifier. Interestingly, the conversations that have arisen with others has been asking me questions on how to bring spirit into their daily lives. I have shared my experience which seems to have been helpful.”

“My experience with Pele started with love at first sight! The moment I (saw) these beauties I felt an unexpected attraction. I think in life you always have attraction toward the energy and frequencies that makes you feel good and complete. I love the Pele Lemurians!
When I meditate with them I feel so much protective energy. It is like a protective father holds you with unconditional love! When I am sad or energetically low, I always feel the need to hug my Pele Lemurians (because) they feel like home, a home for my soul. I also love how they work together with the Reds… I feel the energy of Red mama Dragon coming from them and when you combine this energy with the protective unconditional loving father energy from the Pele Lemurians you get a complete amazing experience that you are in the arms of your soul family! Also what I notice and is purely my experience… is that each Pele Lemurian has something to say (It’s the) same energy but each of them bring their own contribution to the collective energy; each of them for me is unique and bring its own highlight. They teach me the alphabet of a new language, a beautiful unique energy that they bring in this world!”

]]>What is this Retrograde going to look like?
In my opinion, during this Mercury Retrograde there is going to be natural tension that could arise between your thoughts and feelings. Literally your mind and heart in disagreement, likely surrounding relationships. I feel there is a very specific feminine energy to this retrograde so I would not be surprised if those feelings fall in female relationships. Given that this retrograde is happening in the sign of Gemini, the sign of communication - your thoughts and feelings are probably going to make it difficult to find the right words. Don't panic. Instead, welcome gratitude in for the opportunity to be kind with yourself and the way you choose to express yourself in order to keep the relationships going smoothly. (Pro-tip: don't make any assumptions about a person or a situation until you know all the facts!)
My own oracle reading suggests that on a global level this is going to be a retrograde that pulls us towards women's issues, feminism, mothers, etc. No surprise then the recent news regarding women's reproductive rights. I am not going to dive into political implications on this blog, however, if I practice what I preach I need to ask regardless of a ruling what higher purposes does this serve our collective and really being OPEN to hearing the answer to that. A key to this is being able to remove our own ego's from what we want that answer to be!
One of the best things we can do during this time is to journal! What thoughts are coming to you during this time? Emotions? Events? Ask yourself what purpose these serve for your highest good? Mercury Retrograde gifts us with the ability to uncover new information we need to move forward in the most competent manner. If you hear the call to dive into deep reflection, the retrograde of Mercury can actually help us ground and reconnect to our center at a time when we need it the most.
A crystal alley that I will be using this retrograde is my personal Pele Lemurian. There is balance I feel with the masculine warrior energy of the Pele Lemurian and the feminine energy at play during this time. Being a crystal of ascension it is the perfect tool to help navigate the personal growth I need during this time.
If you would like to view available Pele Lemurians you can find them here!
Remember, this is a gifted time of growth and you can bloom!
Hello SOL Family!! Today is an exciting day in my life because it is the one-year anniversary of quitting my full time job and taking the leap to run and operate what is now SOUL OF LEMURIA! I want to thank you all for joining me on this amazing journey! And what a journey it has been!!! I am living in a state of grateful abundance in the relationships that we are creating and the amazing healings that have occurred over the course of the year since I was also able to open up my previously private energy healing practice to the public!
I wanted to take a few minutes to talk to you about a few things. One is setting the energy for the year to come, explaining a little more how I work, and give you my read on the Red Jasper I have from Bahia.
First, I want to talk about exclusivity. This is not the type of energy I want to create for Soul of Lemuria. This also includes crystals and clients. There really is no such thing as exclusivity in the mineral world. I view crystals as our allies and I have no exclusive "right" to them. There is always a miner who is taking crystals out of a mine and selling them on the side, or crystal shops that are going to share clients. The energy I am building here at Soul of Lemuria is inclusivity. I ask you to help me build that in the year to come!
Now, let me talk a little about how I work. In the past, I have done the work of channeling new crystals and giving the general energy profile of that crystal. I say general, because when a crystal ally works with you, it can specifically target something that it can help YOU with, while still serving a general universal purpose. Needless to say, there is actually a lot more that goes into the simple question, "Jen, can you connect to this crystal and give me more info on it?" In the past, I have done this for other crystal shop owners free of charge and that was very lucrative for them, and I celebrate the abundance. I am no longer providing this service for other crystal shops so that I can focus on the crystals that come to me, and have better management of how the information I receive is distributed. I receive several requests every day from people or other crystal shops asking me to help them work with a crystal, channel a new find, etc. I even receive requests from the miners to help them locate crystals. The reason I get these requests is because people find that I am accurate. I never discredit another person’s experience with a crystal. What I do is channel from Source without ego attached (and that is actually something that takes a lot of experience) so that the message is clear and accurate.
In the past couple months, I have gotten a lot of requests to give my opinion on a new find of red jasper from Bahia that was being sold as Fascia Jasper. I have connected with this material before, because I have been paid to clear it and I have been asked if I could find it. In addition, many people have asked me if I could confirm the medical claims that have been attached to it. That I am not comfortable doing, but I felt there was a certain responsibility to purchase some and see what the stone had to say. Not to mention, this is what I do best in my opinion, so I was excited to have fun with a new find to hear what it had to say!
What I found out is that this material is mined from the same location that they are mining pink amethyst. I have not done mineral testing on this lot, because honestly, it didn’t seem that big of a deal since testing has already been done on it. I would like to clarify that I am not calling this fascia jasper or trying to claim it’s fascia jasper. I don't feel the material I have needs a name, nor am I trying to use a name someone else has put on it. I’m just giving facts here as to where it is from, what it is, and the channeled energy profile which others pay me to do – but in this instance, free for all of us! So let’s talk facts: this is mined in Bahia Brazil, it’s mined in the same location as what is being sold as fascia jasper. As I mentioned, having cleared a number of those specimens, I can say, energetically I do not think this is the exact same energy profile. I know that what I have was mined around the fall of 2021. I think what I have is newer out of the mine, which probably means deeper. So, it's similar but different. My opinion is that this area where they are mining it has some really interesting things going on. I should say that I have not read any of the other blog posts about this original material or what people are saying. If you know how I work, you know I don’t bother with that. I also would like to say I am not a medical expert, do not claim to be, and you should always consult your doctor. This channeling of this particular batch of Jasper got very medical and I have done my best to explain what I saw and heard without being an expert in that field. If you are an expert in this field, I would love to hear from you if this makes sense!
Here is my experience with it when I asked to see the universal functioning of this material:
Once cleared and awake it felt like a MRI scan of my body. The energy initially focused on attaching itself to my red blood cells and it was an instant feeling of oxygen enrichment, with an instant boost in physical energy. I felt an increase of red blood cells and an absorption into fibrous material which I do believe was fascia. This jasper however, was clear that it worked with the production of "liquid fascia" in the body. Full disclosure, I did not know that existed when channeling that. What it showed me is that it works like collagen – it helps to reproduce it. On a personal note, I have arthritis and I can say that I did feel a relief when meditating with this material. I believe the relief I felt was from the aid this material gives in the reproduction of liquid fascia to the joints. I would also suggest putting this in the bathtub with you or putting a tower of it in the shower. It LOVES water!
I’d like to end on just one last note – it’s come to my attention that there is some messaging other shops going on…Jen is now carrying xyz, aren’t you angry? With love, I give this PSA: I am friends with many of the shops. If not, I would hope that anyone would appreciate someone giving further information on a crystal for the whole collective free of charge. Again, I claim no exclusivity on crystals. Example: the Dreamcoat Lemurians. I am thrilled that they are getting out there!! I just ask that sellers give the correct information, and if one uses my written material word by word, that they credit where the information came from. I want to ask that you help me keep the vibration high by not participating in that kind of energy. There’s no team Jen or team other. There is just love.
PS: this blog post has been password protected not out of a space of exclusivity, but out of healthy boundaries. By that I mean, those who want to learn more can, without the hassle of the whole internet having access to read and comment freely. In the future, if I should decide to make this blog public I would remove any comments from the comment section so that they would remain private.

]]>Hello #SOLfamily! This blog post is long overdue. So, let’s just dive in! What am I talking about when I say Alta? Glad you asked! “Alta” is the name given to a group of crystals that were a collaborative effort between myself and another crystal shop owner that had purchased these crystals in June of 2019 from Cristalina, Brazil. They were found in a Lemurian mine, in a very small pocket over the period of a couple months. The shop owner contacted me because they recognized that they were a new energy and a very high vibration, so much so that she could not work with them and she needed a little assistance to see what was going on. This was my gateway introduction to these crystals. As soon as she started telling me about them I could see them in my mind’s eye, color, size and they connected to me right away. After clearing them of some energy that needed a bit more than a saging, the vibration of the crystals purified. In fact, their clearing was a bit like their energy – a purification by fire. The crystals themselves work by using unconditional love in a no-nonsense way. Either embrace their unconditional love and work with them or move on! This first find of Alta held an angelic energy, pure, happy and loving. And wow were they sentient and thirsty for knowledge! They embodied the energy of a child who wants to experience the world! And that is one of the best parts about these crystals: how interactive they are. But, more on that in a bit.
For myself, the Alta crystals were the first time I had such a clear connection and vivid visual communication while connecting with a crystal. It unlocked a gift I didn’t know I had. Funny, but true fact: it was six months before I was given a physical Alta of my own and I finally got to see one and hold one in person! Imagine my surprise when they looked exactly as I thought!
One of the biggest questions I get is: how did Alta get its name?
I had been working with these crystals for a bit, around six months and during that time the other shop owner had been floating trade names like Angel Phantoms, Madeline’s, etc. Once I finally received my own crystal I heard the name as clear as day, Alta-Ra “We are Alta, We are One”. I felt embraced by a feminine collective (think beyond gender), in which many voices came together as one. For about a week after first having this experience I kept on hearing “we are Alta, we are One” over and over again. I do not like to “google” things so that information I receive does not get tainted by outside influence. But, I felt a strong compulsion to do so this time. When I did, I came across an article that talked about the Priestess Order of Lemuria, called Alta-Ra. ::Mic Drop:: Further compulsions led me to google if it was possible to add letters. Math is not my forte. However, I soon discovered there was a way to do this and when adding up the name, the number reduced to 1. ::Mic Drop, Mind Blow::
I felt without a doubt, the message had been clear. Alta crystals they were!
What is the metaphysical properties?
Consistently, the message that these crystals teach is Oneness. They connect to Unity Consciousness, and offer us an opportunity to do the same. And timing is everything, because these crystals came during a time when a call to remember Oneness was deeply needed.
How Alta crystals work is by living life with you! Part of their purpose is to have these experiences with us and in doing so connect us to unity consciousness. They remind us that no one is better than anyone else. We are – I, you, us, them, we are one. All the stuff that comes from our egos, the need to put things into neat little boxes, that all gets put aside. This is why the question, are they Lemurian is neither a yes or a no. The answer is that Alta is Alta. They would ask, what is your definition of Lemurian?
The New Alta’s!
In the summer of 2020 I was unpacking some new crystals and was shocked when I unpacked these gorgeous white coated crystals with beautiful watermelon tourmaline inclusions. I was shocked just not in their beauty, but in the fact that they said…”we are Alta, we are One.” I immediately sent a picture to the other shop owner with experience on these crystals and she replied, “where did you find more Alta?!?” These were not like the first find. These were bigger. Magical. Ancient.
The first batch of Alta’s love to work with larimar because of their love of water energy. And they have a tendency to enjoy working with the higher priced crystals like citrine. (This is why we say, Alta will be Alta!). These new Alta’s seemed to have grown their own inclusions and of course they chose some of the prettiest inclusions! The main take always from the lab report that I had done on the new Alta’s were similar to the original lab report from the first batch. The white coating was kaolinite, a mineral that grows in high water atmospheres. Also present were dendrite (also leans to a presence of water). Feldspar and a lithium bearing muscovite was present. Additionally, lepidolite, feldspar and tourmaline – just to name the main properties.
In my opinion, and from my experience having worked with the new Alta’s for a year, they also connect to the heart chakra (try laying it on your heart chakra and see what happens). They work through all of the chakras, but the heart is the key to unlocking the process. The first find of Alta’s were the children, wanting to experience everything! These older Alta’s are the teachers wanting to guide us and lead us into unity consciousness. They want to turn the lights back on. Remind us of what use to be universal knowledge. When they speak of Oneness they aren’t speaking about race, nationality, politics, etc. They have been there, they’ve seen it, they have the -shirt, and they aren’t interested. They are talking about a Oneness connected to Source. The image given is of a great body of water from which a small droplet is taken. Source decides it wants to come to know what it is to have a physical existence as you, and that fractal becomes you. Then another droplet is taken and placed out into the Universe as Source wants to experience what it is like to be me. We come from the same Source, you and I, connected in a larger unity consciousness.
There is so much more to write and say, so perhaps this needs to be a multiple blog. But, the exciting news is that Alta continues to surprise us. These new Alta were found in Aracuia, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Not in the same location as the others. Which is in itself, so Alta. Why would you expect them to be in the same place? After all, they are committed to truth and not what we want to hear or what is convenient. They are here to teach and to teach with love!
]]>
Here is the reason why. Perhaps it is just me, but I’ve never felt a deep urge to dive down that rabbit hole. I have a general understanding of what Lemuria, or Mu (as it is sometimes referred to as) is believed to be via the masses. That being a highly advanced civilization housed on a lost continent that was destroyed by a great flood millions of years ago. Lemurians were evolved beings and highly advanced in technology. When they realized that an extinction event was going to befall their society they seeded the Earth with crystals that would grow and one day be unearthed. These crystals, known as Lemurian crystals, were genetically encoded to store the history and knowledge of the Lemurian society. Thus, passing on their teachings.
This would be sacrilege to say in some circles, but the legend does not interest me. What does interest me is experiencing what the soul of Lemuria is. I put that in the present tense because the essence, spirit, vibration of Lemuria is alive. The first time I ever held a Lemurian crystal I happened to have also been a sceptic of all this “who-ha mystical mumbo jumbo.” (I know, look at me now!) But energy, as it is something tangible, I knew. That first Lemurian I held connected me to a piece of myself I was just waiting to explore, but had no idea I wanted to!
My understanding of what Lemuria is comes from years of personal insight, healing, meditation and working with Lemurian crystals. Universally present through all of my experiences working with these crystals and the energy of Lemuria is a teaching of oneness, a call or remembrance of unity consciousness. Let’s talk more about consciousness…
Science is giving way to more and more theories that consciousness is not limited to space and time. This is one of the reasons that I am less interested in wanting to focus on the history of Lemuria and the legend. The soul of Lemuria, the essence, the consciousness has gone nowhere. In fact, it invites us to reach within ourselves, understanding what we are (moving past Ego) and connect to consciousness. When we do, we become ambassadors to the Universe, and we in turn become Universal. We become One.
This is why I have rebranded Crystal Addict Closet, and renamed it Soul of Lemuria. At this time of writing this blog, we have built a thriving online community, 8k and growing on Instagram. The time feels right. The mission feels right. I am so excited about the future and growing a #SOLfamily (Soul of Lemuria Family) that encourages others to connect to their own spiritual and inner wisdom, and sharing that with like-minded souls in a sacred space where truth is love and all else an illusion. I will continue to offer unique Lemurian crystals, as well as other unique mineral specimens that find their way to me. I am also going to be offering more Energy Healing opportunities and be open to where this road is leading in regards to teaching and educating others. I hope you will continue to join me on this journey!
]]>Lemurian crystals remain one of my favorite crystals to work with. One important distinction about Lemurian quartz is that unlike other quartz that can be programmed specifically to do what you need, Lemurian quartz comes preprogrammed. So, that means that they are crystals that you have to activate. Common forms of activation for Lemurians is said to be rubbing your fingers along the “bar codes” (these are the striations you see on Lemurians) which are found on the base of the crystal. This “activates” the crystal and connects one to higher energy/Lemurian knowledge, etc.
There does not seem to be a lot written about Lemurian Roots however. Lemurian Roots are rare to find. As their name suggests, they are found underneath Lemurian crystals, forming the base from which the Lemurians grew. Through earth activity they eventually break off from the root.
As I was doing my own research on how others were suggesting on working with the roots it seemed that the only recommendation out there was to meditate with these crystals on your third eye. That did not resonate with me, but I did try it. Nada. Now, I want to say, perhaps for others that will work, and I applaud that if it does. The following is what I was guided to do in working with these crystals to ACTIVATE them. Having done so, I had a beautiful and profound experience and have incorporated this into my own mediation/energy healing work. These definitely are a crystal that I think would benefit any energy healer in their grounding work!
Why is it so important to be grounded anyway? Grounding is step one in everything. It helps to make sure that your spirit and physical body are connected. It also is an effective way of increasing your own energy (and if you are going to do energy work, you are going to need the boost). Grounding also aids you in tuning out the noise around you and going within to tune into what your own inner voice has to say. Have you ever played a sport and felt yourself get in “the zone”? It’s a little like that. There is also a lot of physical health benefits to the practice of grounding, but that is a blog post for another time.
Let’s focus again on these Lemurian Roots! Being “root” crystals, perhaps it seems too simple, right? But, it felt like they wanted to be at my feet. Full disclosure, I have never done this with a crystal before, and my dog looked at me like I had lost my mind. Nonetheless, these are the things we do when the energy feels right! I felt guided to place the crystal between the pads of my feet. Once I placed the root in between my feet it was an immediate activation of the crystal and I felt myself instantly grounding! I felt as if I was growing roots myself and immersing deeply into the earth. Next came a feeling of energy pulsing up my spine in the form of a double helix. I want to make a note here that I am not talking about kundalini energy. This was not the same. I felt each chakra being cleared and opened for the grounding energy of the earth to flow up and out, past my 7 chakras and continuing upward through 8, 9 and onward. I was surprised at two things: how immediate the process was and how it also cleared me. If you are an energy worker the reason I think these are great tools is because of how easy and immediate the grounding and clearing work is. I have tried using these with distance healing and find the result to be the same on my client as well.
Now here is the second part. I was still sitting with the root between my feet and I felt the urge to “complete the circuit.” I took a Lemurian crystal that I use during meditation and placed it between my hands. Again, the connection was instantaneous and profound. I felt a circuit connecting and completing. A golden energy showered me and my aura expanded exponentially. The energy pulsated until it became a gentle lapping sensation. I felt connected to oneness.
This is what true Lemurian healing is, and what these roots have to teach us. They root us, clear us, and connect us to Oneness. When you are in that state of oneness you are connected to your true-self and that is true healing!
If you have worked with these Lemurian Roots I would love to hear your experience! Need a Lemurian Root? There are currently medium and small sized Lemurian Roots on my website if you head to the Lemurian section.
I have some good news for everyone. We are almost there. 2020 is almost out the door and with it 2021 will be ushering in some new energy. I can hear the collective sigh now…..I’m with you!
Outside of a world-wide pandemic, the holidays are a hard time for many people and families. During the best of times things can amp up. During these #togetherapart holidays I am noticing in my energy healing work that many have reached the “zero f*cks left to give” point.
Nod your head if you are with me…
You start to feel that tell-tale slimy, buzzy energetic overload and you become overwhelmed. “My relationship has so many issues, I give up”! “My kids are driving me crazy, I don’t care anymore – sure give the family dog a haircut using the Crayola scissors” “Susan doesn’t think my business will survive this pandemic. I am afraid and feel paralyzed with doubt.” “Why does my boss hate me?”
If you are tuned in energetically you know the “ick” I’m talking about here. That feeling of being overwhelmed is a gift to us! Yes, a gift! It is a big neon sign the Universe is giving you to tell you that you’ve got some energetic freeloaders. If you are a sensitive person to energy then you know that it doesn’t necessarily take much to catch those energetic freeloaders. Some time spent at the grocery store or a zoom ‘dinner party” with people we actually want to be around can leave us feeling weighed down.
Let’s dive deeper here into what a common underlying problem is. It’s this magical three syllable word called boundaries! For the most part, I believe we intuitively have a knowing of boundaries. Cue the song “Hungry Eyes” from the movie Dirty Dancing. Picture it with me: Johnny (Patrick Swayze) is teaching Baby (Jennifer Grey) how to dance: Johnny: “This is my dance space. This is your dance space. I don’t go into yours, you don’t go into mine. You’ve got to hold the frame!”
If you are sensitive to energy, you’ve got to learn to “hold the frame!” Being able to sense the unique vibrational signatures of others translates in one sense to picking up feelings and emotions. When we are clear and have healthy boundaries in place this is a wonderful gift, not a curse I promise! It means we are able to consciously help friends and loved ones and create a lot of healing in the world. When we are not clear and do not “hold the frame” another person’s energy can pass into our sacred space and suddenly we have energy freeloading going on. You’re feeling all these things that are not yours and most likely trying to solve those problems and feelings for the other.
Here is why I love the dancing analogy. When dancing the two partners are co-creating together by knowing which steps belong to them. They are being present in the moment and with intent carefully moving with respect to the others movements. Together they build a framework of movement, of energy.
What to do when people breach our boundaries and we are overwhelmed?
Do not run away. I know it’s going to feel like you want to, but don’t. Running away can take on many forms. Physically running away or shrinking within ourselves. Emotionally checking out. Becoming ungrounded. And the list goes on.
My mentor has taught me something which I have brought into my own practice and I wish to pass it on here. When you are feeling this way, face it instead of running away and ask yourself:
When you clear out energy that doesn’t belong to you or serve your life’s purpose you really do begin to feel great. Many people will feel a sense of refocus, lightness of the body, reduced anxiety, and a deep peace.
The above is really just the beginning. Working with an energy healer or mentor if you are in the field will help you go deeper and clearer. If you have passed the point of feeling overwhelmed and you’re swimming in the sea of burnt out, I really encourage you to speak to your energy healer and doctor for a completely holistic approach.

These were the words spoken to me after the death of my loved one. As my friends and Instagram tribe know, a year ago today I said goodbye to the woman who raised me. My best friend. My biggest fan. In reality though, Alzheimer’s and Dementia had taken her away from me a year prior. For anyone who has not had any experience with these diseases, there is a grief that starts to happen prior to the actual physical loss of the person. You grieve the loss of shared memories, loss of personality, loss of what feels like the entire person. And standing in their place is the shadow of the person you loved, but love anew because that is unconditional love. And that love took the form of becoming her caretaker, her advocate and her voice. I have lost loved ones before. Those losses were deep and hard. But the spiritual bond she and I shared was something rare and very special. Her physical passing felt like a physical, emotional and spiritual pain so deep I did not know one could feel like that. You get down to the basics when you feel this way: Breathe. One foot in front of the other. Repeat. What I found is that you begin to crave “normalcy” in grief. By that, I mean YOUR sense of normalcy. Then, cue 2020. A whirlwind of constant discomfort and grief not only for myself, but for the world. There is no personal comfortable normal to be found these days; paradigms are forever shifted and we are just beginning to feel out what that means.
During my journey of grief this year I had key moments and insights that were healing, but also developmentally enriching for my soul. I have the wonderful gift of working with crystals. There have been two that have been so transforming for me during this process that I felt guided to sit down and write this blog to share that experience and insight.
The Ancient Etched Lemurians
About 3 months into my own grieving I was noticing, frankly, I was not doing very well. I just was not progressing as I knew I should be. It was around this time that I received what has become known as Ancient Etched Lemurians well before they made their debut at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show. Unboxing these crystals felt like welcoming an old friend back. As my followers know, I tend to “hoard” my crystals before sending them off to the world. I’m sorry, I am not sorry! But, here is the reason why. They are midwifed. That means they are washed, and they are woken up. I work with them to listen to what they have to say. Working with these Ancients, or “Scriptures” as they are referred to in Brazil, I was guided to go deeper and explore that which was preventing me from healing. I had acknowledged to myself after she passed that within myself I was holding onto feelings and emotions that belonged to her. In my role as caretaker and protector I felt like it was my job to hold onto these things. That meant holding onto injustices that were hers, not mine. Anger that was hers, not mine. Sadness that was hers, not mine. During meditation with the Scriptures I had a powerful realization that I was holding onto these, because it was something that felt physically tangible to hold onto. One of the hardest parts about losing someone is the physical loss and feel of them. One of the constant reminders I have received from the Scriptures has been to let go of fear. Fear itself does not exist. What was unconsciously happening was that I was fearing a sense of emptiness if I were to let that part of her go as well. What would be left?
With the help of a friend during an energy healing session I gave those emotions back to her, and in doing so removed myself from playing the role of God and controlling for her what I thought she was too ill to handle. And in handing it over the emptiness was filled with love.
Red Dreamcoat Lemurians
Along the same timeline that the Ancients found their way to me, I was also welcoming the Dreamcoats and Cora. To find out more, please read my previous blog post. As the Dreamcoats began coming out in varying beautiful colors, these Red Dreamcoats appeared. As shown in the video below, they have Lemurian cores and a second overgrowth of quartz with hematite inclusions.
These Dreamcoats are deeper in the mine pocket. Older. Mature. They are healers and from my experience use the energy of fire. If I were to draw their personalities for you I would draw red dragons! The energy is protective in a pure and loving way. These are your best friend, because they will only tell you the truth, and with love, they encourage you to grab ahold of life and go for it! Manifest your dreams! And what more, they want to help that come about. They are going to work with you every step of the way. This “fire energy” that they use I have found helps to keep you alert and pay attention to what is really bringing you joy in life. They encourage you to ask yourself what is nurturing your sense of purpose, because there is no more time to waste on things that are not serving you that purpose! These are master clearing crystals that spark joy. This spark is like a star in the night sky to enlighten your path and guides you to lead with love and compassion. They are crystals of rebirth, burning away that which no longer serves you. From the ashes, the truer you is reborn.
I realize that if I had not let go of my fear, I would not have been clear enough to experience this next level of growth and healing by working with the Red Dreamcoats. The above is by no means an exhaustive list of my experiences working with the Scriptues or the Dreamcoats, or what I believe their attributes to be. I do however feel guided today to write this, and I will let the reason for that unfold. If you are someone who has recently experienced grief, please know you are not alone. Yes, it is hard. It doesn’t matter if it was a friend, loved one or animal. All grief is painful and sacred. So too does it offer us personal transformation to let go of that which is not ours.

One of my favorite words in the English lexicon is serendipity! What is serendipity? That glorious feeling of accidently stumbling upon something truly wonderful, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated. In 2019 it was serendipity that led me to purchase a mine run of new crystals with Lisa from The Lemurian Rose. They looked interesting and I filed it under, “looks cool, but tbd.” Then they arrived and I was awed!
For more than a year, we followed this pocket of crystals. We made a commitment and purchased each mine run as they came out. Carefully, we watched the different formations. We independently meditated with these crystals to get our own energetic read. When Lisa and I would share notes, we would find that our information was similar, if not pretty close to the exact experiences. Additionally, our Instagram customers have aided us by sharing their experiences with the Unity Lemurians. Thank you to each of you for your contributions!
It is my intention that the following be a helpful guide as to the history of the pocket, the physical characteristics of the crystals, and the energy profile. I have tried to be as exact as I can be, however, this is not an exhaustive list. In general, people do not enjoy being cast into a box. It’s been my experience that crystals don’t appreciate it either. In fact, I think they laugh at us. With that said, here are what I feel are characteristics for the majority of these crystals. The energetic profile and examples given are my personal experiences and notes taken from sessions of meditation over the course of more than a year. It has been a labor of great love and I am excited to now share these crystals with the world. World, I introduce to you . . .
Unity Lemurians
Where do they come from?
Unity, Dreamcoat and Cora crystals have all been found near a waterfall close to the Cristalina Lemurian mine in Brazil. Run 1 and Run 2 of what has become known as Unity Lemurians are the original pocket. There were not a lot of crystals from these two mine runs! We had hoped for more. However, we were soon told that access to the mine was closed due to local soybean farming.

The lab tests results of Unity Lemurians (updated 7/2020):
"The warm golden color is caused by inclusions of goethite just below the surface of the crystal. No staining was found on the surface. Along earlier growth surfaces, hematite and druzy quartz was noted."
The Transition
After introducing the world to Unity Lemurians we were told that more were found! We were thrilled and excited. The miner having lost access to the original pocket followed it to what we believe is the actual end of the pocket. In this new third run we did not see a lot of Unities. Instead we were seeing what appeared to be Super-7ish specimens with an opaque granular quartz core and Unities that were morphing into something else entirely and we weren’t sure what.
Now having mapped this pocket for the past year we can say that the Unities are part of a family of second growth quartz, or as we have coined it: Dreamcoats. Amongst this family we see the following relatives:
So, I know what you are thinking: how do I know if I have a Dreamcoat Sacred Seven or a Dreamcoat Lemurian? Let’s jump in and discuss that!
Dreamcoat Sacred Seven verses Dreamcoat Lemurians
In run 3 and 4 we started to see that some of these stones appeared to have clear Lemurian cores like the Unities with mineral inclusions found in Sacred Sevens. Additionally, we were finding clear Lemurians without the second coat within the pocket of run 3 and 4.
It is very easy to tell if you have a Dreamcoat Sacred Seven or a Lemurian. What does the core look like? Does it have an opaque granular quartz core? Then it’s a Dreamcoat Sacred Seven and tends to have the same metaphysical properties that come with Sacred Seven’s. If the core is clear, or even better yet, it has an open zipper and you can see the inner striations, then you have a Lemurian.

Cora
I started finding the “Cora” crystals appear in the 2nd and 3rd run. You will often see in a Unity or Dreamcoat Lemurian these white or red phantoms, or even amphibole like flames! Once again, not on a lot of the Unities or Dreamcoats, but some! I received these crystals and like a mother with a newborn, I have been in love since! Within the pocket they seem to be a bit of an abnormality; they just pop up! Remember what I said about the crystals not embracing the concept of being put in a box or labeled? Well, these here are your prime example. They happily stand out.
It has been my experience when coming in contact with a new crystal for the first time that it is very similar to meeting a new person; a crystal will introduce itself, for the most part. Her hello set me on fire, in a good way. I felt heat run through each of my chakras, straight out my crown chakra. I saw flames lapping in a wild dance, but let me be clear, not destructive. If fire could dance, these would make it happen. It was then that they named themselves Cora.
I would like to make a special note here that I have not named them Cora Lemurians as of yet. Their physical characteristics do show them to look like Lemurians, but further time and meditation is needed to confirm this before I am willing to apply that label. For this reason, as well as a few others, I am holding them back for now. I am however showing them to you and explaining their characteristics, because they lend themselves in a big way to the pocket and energetically to some of the crystals. The influence of Cora shouldn’t be underestimated.

I hope that you have found this summary of our midwifing the Dreamcoats, Unities and Cora’s helpful! As these are still a new find we are still learning more about them every day! Please continue to help us out by sharing your experiences with them! You can DM me on Instragram @crystaladdictcloset. Please enjoy the video below which is the original Joint Live where Lisa and I introduced the crystals.
