In the world of Lemurian Quartz, not all points are created equal. While many collectors are familiar with the classic striated Lemurian Seed Crystal, fewer know about the rare and remarkable 5-3-5 termination — a formation that sets certain points apart as true teaching crystals.
If you’ve ever held a Lemurian point and noticed that one face looks distinctly different from the others — wider, flatter, almost like a window — you may already be holding one.
What Does 5-3-5 Mean?
The numbers refer to the faces at the termination (the pointed tip) of the crystal. A standard quartz point has six faces. In a 5-3-5 formation:
- Two sets of five-sided (pentagonal) faces flank the termination
- Between them sits a single three-sided (rectangular) face — the defining feature
This creates a natural asymmetry that crystal workers associate with transmission, teaching, and the bridging of dimensions. The rectangular face is often called the window or door — a portal for receiving and transmitting ancient wisdom.
Why Are They Called Teaching Points?
Lemurian Quartz is already revered for carrying encoded vibrational imprints from the ancient Lemurian civilisation — held within the horizontal striations that run across each face. The 5-3-5 formation amplifies this quality. The triadic structure — two triangular faces flanking a commanding rectangular window — is believed to create a focused channel for energy transmission, making these crystals particularly powerful for:
- Meditation and inner journeying
- Channelling and receiving higher guidance
- Energy healing and transmission work
- Teaching, facilitating, and holding sacred space
How to Work With a 5-3-5 Teaching Point
The rectangular face is your entry point. Hold the crystal with this face directed toward you during meditation, or place it on your Third Eye or Crown Chakra. Run your thumb gently along the striations to “activate” the encoded information — a practice used by Lemurian crystal workers worldwide.

How Rare Are They?
Genuinely rare. Most Lemurian points have a standard six-faced termination. The 5-3-5 configuration occurs naturally during crystal growth and cannot be manufactured or replicated — each one is a gift from the Earth exactly as it formed millions of years ago.
