Are Herkimer and Lemuria Diamonds real Diamonds?
I was in Sedona, AZ a few months ago. While in one of the stores I asked if they had any Herkimer Diamonds. The store owner said no but I have Lemuria Diamonds. I had never heard of them.
Lemuria Diamonds are quartz crystals found about fifty miles from Sedona. They were created in limestone pockets, a result of a great inland sea that once existed here, floating in solution, seed crystals formed. As single crystals they attached to the limestone walls and continued to grow. Lemuria Diamonds were believed to be programmed and buried by the magical people of Lemuria. The diamonds assist us in reaching high meditative states and are extremely powerful healing tools. They are primarily feminine in their nature and assist us in protective, sweet, wise and have a powerful beauty. They are waiting for us all to open our hearts to them and become a part of the magnificent grid of light they exist in. Needless to say I bought a double terminated crystal.
When I calculated the name of the stone (Lemuria Diamond) to see what its Chaldean number would be, it ended up being a 6, which is Diane’s fortunate number. With that in mind, I made the wire-wrapped necklace pictured below.
Herkimer Diamonds were discovered in Herkimer, NY, USA. It is a form of quartz which crystallizes in the configuration of double-terminated short, stout, or included prismatic crystals. It provides energy of delicate harmony, enhancing distinct awareness. Herkimer diamonds helps you to “be”, providing for an alliance of surrender and a strength allowing for the further recognition of the essential being within the self; recognition of this aspect also provides for the acknowledgment and appreciation of the essential being, which is not the self, but is within each of us. This special stone energizes, enlivens and promotes creativity. It is a stone of attunement. It stimulates psychic abilities such as clairvoyance, spiritual vision and telepathy, linking guidance from higher dimensions. It promotes dream recall and understanding. Herkimer’s clear all chakras and opens channels for spiritual energy to flow.
Since both of these stones are from the Quartz family, I feel as though I should add something about quartz. Clear Quartz amplifies, focuses, stores and transfers energy. It is considered a master healer. During sleep it can promote psychic dreams.
