Introduction
Herkimer Diamond is a double-terminated quartz crystal with moh higher than most quartz crystals. It is not a diamond. It was discovered in Herkimer County and hence had its name but is not unique to Herkimer county only. It can also be found in Germany, China, Afghanistan, England, etc. Compared to real diamonds, they are much more ethically sourced because they are mined above ground in clay deposits. Value in Herkimer Diamonds depends on the Clarity, Color, Cut, Carat and Origin from Herkimer county.

Properties
Herkimer Diamonds have good energy flow being natural double-terminated quartz which meant that it is ideal for meditation and spiritual healing. It is a powerful crystal used to open up channels and remove blockages in the 7 chakras system. You can almost feel like there is an opening of energy flow exiting from the back of your neck to the top of your head. It works extremely well when paired with the Lemurian Quartz crystal to aid in your meditation work with spirit guides. It can also be used as a calibration tool for those who want lucid dreams as your spiritual senses will be heightened when a Herkimer Diamond is worn. You will feel your mind and brain expand to the endless possibilities of the unknown hence when making decisions with the Herkimer Diamond, you will feel light and clear. This also makes for other forms of psychic work like animal communication to flow better. Its energies may be too strong for some people and therefore recommended not to wear them as jewellery but otherwise a wonderful gift for spiritual healers to work with. If you need answers from your spirit guides, working with the Herkimer Diamond will be very useful to tap onto higher planes of communication that were otherwise blocked before.

Activated Chakras
It taps onto all 7 Chakras during meditation. Primarily, it rebalances 5 sets of chakras in the middle namely the Sacral Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Heart Chakra, Throat Chakra and Third Eye Chakra. It calibrates with your Root Chakra and your Crown Chakra to ensure that your process remains grounded throughout. Some of you may feel lightheaded when working with the Herkimer Diamond as it sends its energies upwards from your Root Chakra and out of your Crown Chakra.

Crystal Care
Highly recommended to cleanse and charge it with moon water first before activating the charge with a Crown Chakra Tibetan Singing Bowl or Singing Lemurian Quartz Wand. If using a Clear Quartz Singing Bowl, you can use it to charge your crystal without using moon water. Cleansing the crystal still requires water only.

Introduction
Lemurian Quartz is a Master Crystal known for its deep ladder striations on the sides of its faces, which can be found in Brazil (The Diamantina Mine in Minas Gerais) or Colombia. Other types of Lemurian crystals include Smoky Quartz, Citrine, Hematite/Iron inclusion Quartz. Lemurian Seed can only be found in a specific mine and location in Brazil (The Serra Do Cabral Mountains Mine in Minas Gerais, near Joaquim Felicio).

Legend has it that these crystals are buried by the wise, blond and tall elf looking Lemurians that live on the island of Mu/ Lemuria. They are a group of an intelligent races known to harness crystal energies for healing. It was also said that those who can tap onto the information in these crystals will have access to Lemurian energies and be capable of using them in their healing practice.  

Properties
Lemurian Quartz is used in meditations and healing practice to amplify crystal energies, connect to higher spiritual realms with Angels, Gods and Spirit Guides. It is known to have very special distinctive traits that other crystals may not necessarily have such as Striations, Record Keepers, Phantom, Time Link Window, Inner Child, Tantric Twin, Key, Self Healed, Isis, Singing, Manifestation, Tabular and Japan Law Twin. 

• Striations - Tap onto Akashic Records that allow you to have access to all universal events, thoughts, words, emotions and intents ever recorded in Past, Present, or Future in all life forms.
• Record Keepers - Raised or embedded triangles etched onto the crystal's surface facing upwards or downwards. It allows you to tap into your Akashic Records for gained knowledge or wisdom on your current life's path.
• Phantom - Layers of tiny fragmented crystals showing the growth stages of the crystal before a different mineral is laid over it. Each layer is said to represent thousands of years. Phantoms are helpful to those who need progression in their life. 
• Starbrary - Starbraries give you access to Starseed information based on the unique star formations on it's face. It can showcase it's origin from Pleiades, Sirian, Arcturian, Andromedan, Orion, Mintakan, Maldek, Lyran/ Feline, Venusian, Reptilian or Draconian. 
• Time Link Window - Diamond-shaped face found in-between the intercepting points of the tip, leaning towards the left is a Past Time Link Window, leaning to the right is a Future Time Link Window. Both allow you to tap onto past or future experiences in your life that can aid you in moving forward.
• Inner Child - Smaller crystal attached to the sides of a bigger Lemurian Quartz wand is an Inner Child. It helps adults that struggle with parent and child issues that may have left a scar in their growing years and affected their perception of their identity.
• Tantric Twin - Two individual pointed Lemurian Quartz wands growing side by side parallel to each other, at a similar height. This is good for relationships that require finding balance or healing. You may also use it to find your Soulmate or Twin Flame.
• Key - It has an indentation on the face of the crystal caused by the interlocking growth of neighbouring Lemurian Quartz crystals. These keys help you to open up hidden aspects of yourself that have been left unresolved.
• Self Healed - At the base of the crystal where it breaks off from its parent crystal may have a smooth surface to indicate a healed event. This is great for people who need to work on themselves independently for healing, especially those who have had traumatic events in their childhood or life. 
• Isis - A five-sided face on the top of a crystal's tip, with 2 long sides on the top and 2 short sides at the bottom that join at the base. This forms the pentagon shape and is used to work with the Egyptian Goddess, Isis or Mother Mary for healing emotional struggles. It is also used to tap into the 5 elements namely Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit.
• Singing - When coming into contact with another crystal, it makes a high pitched ringing sound that sends messages to surrounding crystals that have come into contact with it. 
• Manifestation - Another smaller crystal growing from within the Lemurian Quartz helps you to manifest your deep desires and thoughts into reality.
• Tabular - Flat surfaced crystals that help to stimulate communication and meditation with higher beings. 
• Japan Law Twin - V-shaped tabular formation that looks like a butterfly. It has a transformational effect on your healing to ensure the stability of your auric field.

Activated Chakras
In your meditation, this crystal should not be used as a Clear Quartz as it does not work on balancing your 7 Chakras. Its light energies work on higher chakras beyond the 7 Chakras, such as Soul Star Chakra, Spirit Chakra, Universal Chakra, Galactic Chakra and Divine Gateway Chakra.   

Crystal Care
Highly recommended to cleanse and charge it with moon water first before activating the charge with a Crown Chakra Tibetan Singing Bowl or Singing Lemurian Quartz Wand. If using a Clear Quartz Singing Bowl, you can use it to charge your crystal without using moon water. Cleansing the crystal still requires water only.
