| Notes: |
A spectacular Herkimer Diamond with a tabby, or tabular look. A tabby
crystal is recognized by 2 large flat facets on the front and back, making a wide, thin, flat crystal. This particular Herkimer is not the flattest tabular crystal I have seen, but I believe it qualifies. Several of the pictures show this.
A large right activation window is also present, it barely photographed in the bottom left picture above. An additional odd shaped window facet is also present. According to Melody (author of Love is in the Earth), window crystals are powerful teachers. They are like open windows through which one can see beyond illusionary identities and into the essence of the self. It is said that window crystals will come to a person when he/she is willing to honestly look within the self and to accept the truth.
The clarity is excellent, as clearly shows in the pictures. It is only a slight blemish to one of the termination points that places this Herkimer Diamond in the A grade verses AA grade category.
The tabular (tabby) shape and awesome clarity make this an exceptional Herkimer Diamond crystal. |
