Herkimer "diamonds" are raw quartz crystals mined exclusively in Herkimer, NY. Nearly 500 millions years old, these gemstones are naturally formed with 18 facets, 6 sides, and 2 points, holding history within their unique inclusions.
Some of HBJ’s favorite variations include...
COLOR VEIL: A healed fracture that reflects light like a rainbow of shattered glass.
SKELETAL CRYSTAL: A depressed cavern formed during the growth stage of the stone. This indentation is patterned with multiple parallel lines stepping toward the top of the crystal.
PIGGYBACK: A baby crystal growing out of the surface of a larger crystal.
SOLID INCLUSION: A mineral caught within the crystal. This mineral is often black anthraxolite, adding dark specks to the stone.
SMOKY CRYSTAL: A pale grey to black discoloration resembling wisps of smoke.
Origins: Herkimer, NY
MOHs Hardness: 7.5
Care: Quartz is relatively durable, but not invinceable. Avoid dropping them onto hard surfaces. Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap, scrubbing away dirt with a soft brush if necessary. Avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
