| Notes: |
This large crystal does have a bit more
than the normal 7-10% growth occurrences that a typical A grade Herkimer
Diamond would have. I would say it has more like 15% growth occurrences
overall. However, the large size excellent clarity and perfect termination
points rate it A grade quality.
Three spots with clear key marks occur, one 6-sided with good definition,
one caused by anthraxolite crystals, and one with a double terminated
baby crystal setting nearby. They can be seen in the pictures.
One facet is an area where it looks like an enhydro burst, but didn't
surface. It stayed internal. Very cool with a loupe. This also photographed
well in several of the pictures.
Internally, the crystal has very minimal growth marks and they are
clear. A small vibrant rainbow occasionally flashes itself from one.
There is nothing cloudy about this fantastic Herkimer crystal. It
displays itself well in the pictures and has perceptive power in person. |
