2 Herkimer Diamonds  
 
Length: 35 & 45 mm
Width: 20 & 30 mm
Depth: 9.5 & 15.5 mm
Weight: 35 grams total
Notes:

Although external matrix markings are present, these are two oversized tabby crystals. A ”Tabby” or Tabular Crystal is recognized as a flat crystal, usually with etching or notches (major striations) on one side. Herkimer Diamonds did not traditionally grow with this narrow shape.
Descriptions from left to right in above photos:

  • One 45x30x15.5 mm tabular crystal. At almost 2", this is one of the largest tabby crystals I have seen. The crystal is double terminated, but one tip is chipped. The largest flat facet does have matrix scarring. The other side has mainly internal matrix. The cloudiness is attributed to the many healed internal fractures. A healed fracture occurred when the stone formed. Something caused a crack, but the crystal formed completely around it, healing it.
  • One 25x20x9.5 mm tabby crystal. Along with a tabular shape, this crystal has a skewed as well. Both long flat sides have external matrix speckled on the large facets. Internal fractures give the stone some cloudiness. Both termination points are intact and sharp.

This is an appealing set of 2 unusual Herkimer Diamond crystals.
