for balance
Herkimer Diamond
Herkimer diamond quartz has a distinctive crystal shape, with a point at each end. Its clear sparkle and angular lines bring a bright accent to handmade jewelry from our Nashville studio.
- Color
- Clear to colorless, sometimes with visible inclusions inside the crystal.
- Family
- Quartz rather than diamond, known for crystals that form with a point at each end.
- Wear
- 7 on the Mohs scale; scratch-resistant, but the pointed crystal ends need protection from hard knocks.
- A little history
- The name recalls Herkimer County, New York, where these distinctive double-pointed quartz crystals became well known.
