Herkimer Diamonds
What is a Herkimer Diamond ?
Herkimer Diamonds are
exceptionally clear and brilliant doubly
terminated Quartz crystals found primarily
in dolomite (AKA Dolostone and Dolomitic
Limestone) rock formations (Calcium
Magnesium Carbonate) in Herkimer County, New
York, in the Mohawk River Valley. The
crystals grew naturally in spaces (pockets
or vugs) in the dolomite formed in a shallow
sea about 500 million years ago. They were
first discovered in the late 18th Century. They often contain products from the
Adirondack Mountains that washed into the shallow
sea such as pyrite and petroleum in addition to
salt water bubbles. Herkimer Diamonds can be
collected or purchased at one of the several
tourist mining businesses in Herkimer County (east
and a bit north of Syracuse, New York). Or, you
can find Herkimer diamond jewelry and loose stones
online at places like Etsy.
