Premium Herkimer Diamond Raw Crystal (10.45 gr) — High Clarity Specimen

Premium Herkimer Diamond Raw Crystal Specimen (10.45 gr)

Origin and Geological Significance

This is a premium, high-clarity raw specimen of Herkimer Diamond, weighing 10.45 grams. Despite their name, Herkimer Diamonds are not true diamonds but are a unique and powerful form of double-terminated quartz crystal, mined exclusively in Herkimer County, New York. They are celebrated worldwide for their exceptional clarity, natural faceting, and high spiritual vibration. Formed over 500 million years ago, these crystals grew slowly in pockets within dolomite rock, allowing them to develop their characteristic shape. This 10.45-gram piece serves as a remarkable natural sculpture, showcasing internal fractures and dark inclusions of anthraxolite (carbon deposits) that are common to these gems. Their brilliance and clarity make them a popular alternative for the brilliant April birthstone.
