Notes: |
A beautiful and complete Herkimer crystal with a clean
key mark and double terminated bridge crystal.
A bridge crystal is recognized as a smaller crystal which
is part in and part out of a larger crystal. The smaller
crystal would have been formed first, the larger forming
later and wrapping itself around the bridge crystal. While
the 6 mm bridge crystal is complete, it does have some
growth marring. It is located opposite the key.
The key mark, covers several facets and is well defined. A
key mark is an imprint left from another Herkimer Diamond
that grew along side the crystal, but did not adhere.
Spiritually It is used to unlock the doors to healing
concepts and aides in answering questions about the self.
It makes this quartz gem really glitter.
Externally, minimal black hydrocarbon growth occurrences
add depth and authenticity to this Herkimer crystal with
excellent clarity.
Only about 15% of Herkimer Diamonds mined qualify as A
grade quality, less than 3% of these are over 20 mm.
