| Notes: |
This traditional shaped double terminated
Herkimer Diamond has quite a variety of internal inclusions, giving
many of the facets sparkling rainbows.
Also encased in the quartz crystal is crystallized anthraxolite, one
of which measures about 5 mm; awesome when viewed with a loop.
A sprinkling of iron is trapped inside as well, and can be seen clearly
in the pictures. Keep in mind, for some reason, iron always reflects
a strong orange in my pictures. In person, it is a pale yellow color.
In the case of this quartz crystal, very pale; the pictures are deceiving.
One of the facets, or faces, sports 2 tiny Herkimer Diamonds (see
bottom picture above). All other facets are smooth and complete. It
is a well defined double terminated quartz crystal. |
