Mining Herkimer ‘Diamonds’

е:

This short clip is a glimpse of us mining Herkimer Diamonds at Crystal Grove Diamond Mine just outside of St Johnsville, NY.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar, Herkimer «Diamonds» are a form of clear quartz that sometimes develop double terminated crystals. Good specimens form loose in a vug, or pocket, without attaching to the dolomite that surrounds them, resulting in perfect 6-sided «football shaped» forms that are water clear.

Check out our Etsy Shop if you’re interested in purchasing some of our extra crystals.
