Notes: |
ALL of the Graded crystals for sale on our site - HerkimerCrystalsOnline.com are in their raw, or natural form.
This beautiful A grade Herkimer quartz specimen is no different.
The first thing noticed in the photos is the large well defined key mark. It produces a glittery look to the crystal. A key mark is recognized by a geometric indentation that is three or six-sided. It becomes more narrow as it steps into the crystal. It's an area where crystals grew against each other, at different times. The keyed crystal grew at a later date, around the original crystal, the step-like pattern indicating growth and separation.
DT's, (double termination tips) are sharp and complete. Any raw Herkimer quartz crystals - grades AA - B, should have two terminated points.
A small contact mark is seen in the photographs, not so much with the naked eye.
Internally 'all but' flawless. A small mirror-like like imprint adds interest. Clarity is awesome.
This is a bright, water clear raw Herkimer quartz crystal. Photographs represent it well.
