Herkimer Diamond
Herkimer Diamonds are unique double-terminated quartz crystals found primarily in Herkimer County, New York. They are known for their clarity and natural faceting, which gives them a diamond-like appearance. These crystals typically form in limestone and are often found in clusters, making them popular among collectors and jewelry makers.
Despite their name, Herkimer Diamonds are not true diamonds but rather a type of quartz. They are prized for their beauty and are believed by some to possess metaphysical properties, such as enhancing clarity and promoting healing. Their distinctive shape and sparkle make them a sought-after gemstone.
