| Notes: |
A set of 2 Herkimer Diamonds with gum ball shapes. Sizes and descriptions
as follows:
- One 15x11.5x10 mm gem stone that is technically double terminated,
but a matrix mark flaws one of the facets next to a tip. It doesn't
seem to matter though, because of the fabulous clarity. The crystal
is so clear a large 6 sided key mark isn't noticed unless viewed
with a loop. The key is shallow, but steps down perfectly geometric
(see center photo above). Additionally, 2 window facets are present,
both aligned on the same facet line. It displays itself naturally
at an attractive angle.
- One 14x11.5x9.5 mm crystal very similar to the other in the
set. There is a bit more matrix and with a loop a splash of drusy
crystal shows itself. An interesting inclusion is flat and clear
and hovers near the bottom of the crystal. Strong and solid rainbows
reflect back from the inclusion.
A very cool set of Herkimer Diamonds, both high quality C
grade stones.
