About Quartz

Quartz is a trigonal silicon dioxide mineral with a Mohs hardness of 7 and a vitreous luster. “Herkimer Diamond” is the traditional trade name for especially clear, commonly double-terminated quartz crystals associated with the Herkimer County region of New York; despite the name, these crystals are quartz rather than diamond.

Traditional & Metaphysical Associations

Why This Specimen?

The upright golden crystal forms a bright focal point above a dark, glittering druzy surface, while the rugged matrix gives the specimen strong natural contrast. Its compact miniature size is well suited to protected shelf or case display.
