We have some very special Herkimer Diamonds in the collection! We had the opportunity of going to Herkimer county New York in the spring of 2010 to do our own digging. We spent days at the Ace of Diamonds mines cracking open dolomite rocks to find these perfectly clear quartz crystals that are always double terminated and have earned the name "Herkimer Diamonds" While we were there we were blessed to meet a very special family of 3 who own 10 acres in Little Falls New York, just up the road from the old Fort Herkimer. The Russels have been lovingly harvesting some very special crystals out of their land for the last 2 years. They are blessed to have some exceptionally large specimins, including some smokey diamonds, scepters and some black included phantoms!!!!! We can guarantee you that this land is PRISTINE, and is the hands of these true Earth guardians, maintaining the energetic integrity of the specemins that come from their land.
