Description
From New York, this beautiful Herkimer diamond exhibits stunning clarity and well formed faces, for which these beautiful double terminated quartz are known for. Hand mined, to prevent damage, Herkimer diamonds command a high price for their beauty and rarity.
A more common type of small double terminated quartz, which can be found in several areas around the world, notably The Himalayans, are often misnamed as Herkimer Diamonds. These are usually lower priced but lack the formation and clarity of a genuine Herkimer.
Herkimer are not diamonds; the “diamond” in their name is due to both their clarity and well-formed faces.
Herkimer Diamonds are often called ‘Attunement Stones’ as they are useful in attuning one with others and their surroundings. They are also said to amplify the energy of other crystals. They help clear the mind, body, and spirit of unconscious fears, allowing for complete relaxation, peacefulness, and expansion of life energy. Herkimer Diamonds are very effective for lucid dreaming and other forms of dream work.
