This lot of Herkimer crystal points set on tiny fragments of dolomite rock. Dolomite, a type of limestone is the host rock, sometimes referred to as matrix, where Herkimer gemstones formed. Sizes and descriptions as follows: Refer to the proper images, 1 & 2.

- The largest in this image measures 16x12x10 mm. With clean lines and facets it has good clarity and pastel rainbows. Three window facets are present as well.

The dolomite rock attached to these tips is very minimal as can be seen in the images. Many of the Herkimer crystal points in this lot are surrounded by smaller crystal tips. They are a real treat when viewed with a loupe. A great collection for gifting or the micro crystal collector. |
