Description
Authentic Herkimer Diamond from Herkimer, New York State, USA
Herkimer Diamonds (found exclusively in Herkimer County N.Y.)
are not diamonds but perfectly crystallized silicon dioxide –
double pointed Quartz Crystals that have already been faceted
by nature. Herkimer Diamonds are found in pockets deep within
solid chunks of basalt. Miners spend years digging for these
hidden pockets, which sometimes yield thousands of brilliant
crystals.
