Herkimer Quartz

Balance, Energy, Harmony

Herkimer “Diamonds” are double-terminated quartz crystals that are found in and around Herkimer County and the Mohawk River Valley in New York state. Herkimer Quartz are a true stand-out amongst their quartz relatives. These magical little crystals are often called “diamonds” due to both their clarity and natural faceting. Their double termination points and up to 18 facets grants them more ability to shine, refract and reflect light. The distinct black, gray, and red dappling is a result of liquid, solid and gas inclusions. Known as “Herkimer Diamonds,” these are said to be the most powerful of all quartz crystals. Naturally occurring with two points, they are believed to both transmit and receive spiritual energy.
