About Herkimer Diamond Quartz

Herkimer Diamond is the traditional trade name for notably clear, strongly faceted quartz crystals associated with Herkimer County, New York. Despite the name, these crystals are quartz rather than diamond; quartz has a trigonal crystal system, a Mohs hardness of 7, vitreous luster, and the chemical formula SiO₂.

Traditional & Metaphysical Associations
