The Herkimer is a double-terminated quartz crystal with a diamond-like geometrical shape. Discovered in Herkimer County, NewYork around the late 18th Century, they were named "diamonds" because of their extraordinary clarity and well-formed facets. The crystals are extremely slow forming and close to five hundred million years old. It is normal for a herkimer to sometimes have beautiful natural inclusions of yellow, brown or black.
