The basics
Lemurian isn't a mineral name. It's a trade name for quartz points from the Serra do Cabral mountains in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
What sets them apart are deep horizontal ridges on alternating faces, often called barcodes. Run a thumbnail up the side and you can feel them. Some points carry a pink iron coating.

Straight talk
Lemurian is real quartz with a story attached, not a separate mineral. Some sellers call any striped point Lemurian, so look for strong ridges on alternating faces. The Lemuria part is folklore, not fact. If a piece we sell were ever treated or man-made, the title would say so.

Yes, it's natural quartz. The name is a trade name with a legend behind it. Look for the barcode ridges and a long, slim point.
A phantom is a ghost-like outline of an earlier crystal inside the point, left when growth paused. In black phantoms that outline is dark.
