NOTE : This Herkimer Diamond bracelet is more expensive because of its bead size, rarity and it has plenty of black organic inclusions. These black inclusions inside the Herkimer Diamonds are said to amplify the power of the crystals.

WHAT IS A HERKIMER DIAMOND?

Herkimer Diamonds aren’t diamonds. They are quartz formations which, because of their brilliance and diamond shape they’ve been given that name. They can be found clear, cloudy, smoky or even containing a variety of rare impurities. Bubbles and black organic inclusions are common in these crystals. Herkimer diamond is a generic name for double-terminated quartz crystals, which were first discovered in exposed outcrops of dolostone at Middleville and Little Falls in Herkimer County, New York and the Mohawk River Valley.

They became largely recognized after workmen discovered them in large quantities while cutting into the Mohawk River Valley dolostone in the late 18th century. Geologists discovered exposed dolostone in Herkimer County and began mining there. The popularity of mining for double-terminated quartz in the Herkimer County outcroppings is what led to the name, Herkimer diamonds. Currently, Herkimer diamonds can be found in large quantity in at least Herkimer, Fulton, and Montgomery counties, and double-pointed quartz crystals have also been found in abundance, in Tibet and Afghanistan as well as in other countries.

METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF HERKIMER DIAMOND

Herkimer diamonds are considered to be the most powerful of quartz crystals. In crystal layouts these are probably the most effective crystals to use to release energy blockages. Because of its ability to help release energy blockages, which often express themselves in the form of stress and tension, this crystal is said to be an important tool in prevention of physical disease (this is not a medical opinion). Herkimer diamonds have the ability to raise human energy levels, and are thus recommended whenever you need more cheer in your life.
