"Recently I was giving a lecture to a group of women who had come from England. Afterward, during a question and answer period, a woman handed me a crystal that she had just bought at a shop on Kauai and asked me to tell her about any special characteristics that it had. It was a cut a polished crystal, but it had a sticker on it that said "Lemurian Seed Crystal".

I said, "This is not a Lemurian Seed Crystal, it is a cut and polished crystal from Brazil". She told me that she had paid a higher price for it because it was supposedly a LSC. I said it definitely was not and she ended up returning it to the store she had purchased it from.

Later on I went into that store to talk with the manager and tell them that they had mislabeled this crystal. I wanted to share with them the characteristics of a true LSC, the horizontal striations, the pinkish hue, the matte finish, and the overall frequency that they carry. I was told that the cut and polished crystals were also LSC, that they were from the same mine as the others, but had been cut and polished to increase their value.

Not being a great fan of cut and polished crystals myself, I must admit that I spontaneously felt that something was terribly wrong here. I said, "If these cut and polished crystals really are from the same mine, why would the very markings that characterize them as LSC be cut and polished away? It is those very qualities that imbue them with the sacred power that they carry!"

Obviously the store manager had bought these crystals from a source that had given him this information and I knew that I had to check it out with the people who were bringing these cut and polished crystals into the country and calling them LSC. So I did and this is what I found out. Yes, some of the material that is found in the LSC mine is being cut and polished. Yes, you can now find these crystals on the market labeled LSC

My problem with this is two-fold. First, if you destroy the original markings on a LSC you literally change its nature. It would be like having a very bad face lift, or a botched surgery, and never looking or being the same again. The horizontal striations carry the knowledge of how to maintain unity while being individualized and living on the physical plane. The delicate pink ray that the true LSC reflects is exactly the frequency needed to infuse them with the essence of love. The matte finish is unique to these crystals and serves to hold the pink ray that is essential to their purpose.

Secondly, if indeed these cut and polished crystals are really from the same mine as the true Lemurian Seed Crystals, I find no logical reason for cutting and polishing them and destroying the innate qualities that are so intrinsic to their nature and purpose. Also, what is to prevent any other dealer importing cut and polished crystals from Brazil from labeling them Lemurian Seed Crystals? They would be sure to bring a higher price. Then the market will be flooded by unnatural crystals being called LSC and the integrity is lost. What about people who don't even know what a true LSC looks like and purchase an unnatural one expecting it to have the specific energy and effects of a true one? And when it does not, then what? It feels to me like a greedy dishonest manipulation.

The bottom line here is that the only thing I can do is to inform people that this is happening and tell you to keep your eyes open. After taking this issue very personally I have now dissipated most of the charge and accept that I can do only what I can and need to let the rest be. And so it restlessly rests".

Buyer beware!
