A Herkimer Diamond is a water-clear, double-terminated Quartz crystal.
These very special, naturally faceted quartz crystals only come from Central New York, nestled in the Mohawk Valley. Bright and highly refractive with 18 natural facets, Herkimer Diamonds are often included with fossilized carbon sea-plant remains called anthraxollite. The Herkimer Diamonds pictured here are from the World Famous Ace of Diamonds mine, known for producing some of the most pristine Herkimer Diamond specimens and Diamond Mountain in Little Falls which produces the Herkimer Scepters.
Herkimer Diamond Quartz Crystal Pendant #0683 in Sterling Silver.
Handmade by Richard Bolger with a top quality water clear Herkimer Diamond Quartz Crystal from Middleville, N.Y..
“The Pendants and Earrings I make are crafted from Sterling Silver wire using natural stones, crystals, cut stones and carvings. It all started over 30 years ago when I made my first “wirewrapped” pendant with a Herkimer Diamond. I select each Herkimer Diamond, Moldavite, Fossil, Meteorite and Semi-precious Stone that is set into these handmade Jewels. Herkimer Diamonds are one of my favorites. I use them often in combination with other Crystals, Fossils, Moldavite and space rocks to create unique Jewels with an emphasis on Herkimer Diamond Crystals.”
