Herkimer Diamond Clear Quartz 925 Stirling Silver Pendant and 18" Chain Necklace

Herkimer Diamonds, though not true diamonds, are remarkable quartz crystals found exclusively in Herkimer County, New York. Each crystal is unique and will vary in size and shape. Formed over 500 million years ago during the Cambrian period, these crystals originated as pockets within sedimentary rock layers, filled with ancient seawater. Silica-rich groundwater percolated through cracks in the rock, depositing silica and giving rise to their unique double-terminated shape. Beyond their geological origins, Herkimer Diamonds hold metaphysical significance, believed to enhance spiritual awareness, aid healing, and amplify crystal energy. They are associated with intentions, chakra alignment, and are valued in jewelry and collections for their natural beauty and distinct shape.
