| When the Dutch settled the land around Herkimer County, NY, they found the Herkimer quartz crystals in the soil and matrix stone of dolomite. Thinking they were actual diamonds, they were used for currency for a time. Alas, it was soon discovered the Herkimer Diamond was merely quartz, but it is one the most spectacular quartz crystals Mother Nature created. | |||||||||||||||||||
