Composed of quartz, these are doubly terminated crystals with termination points on either end of the rock. They are known to have 18 naturally occurring facets. Unlike real diamonds, Herkimer diamonds are mined above ground, making them more ethical and sustainable than mined diamonds.
Most crystals grow with a lot of reliance on the host rock, however Herkimer diamonds have little contact and grow almost on their own, often in clay deposits, making Herkimer diamonds very rare and highly popular among gemstone lovers and mineral collectors.
***ATTENTION: PLEASE NOTE THAT HERKIMER DIAMONDS ARE NOT ACTUAL DIAMONDS. THESE NATURAL STONES ARE COMPOSED OF QUARTZ YET ARE HARDER AND HAVE HIGHER GLOSS THAN OTHER QUARTZ CRYSTALS.***
