Notes: |
This specimen is double terminated, as befits any AA
Grade Herkimer Diamond. The terminations here are special.
One has the traditional sharp point, while the other is a
chisel tip. A common termination point occurs when six
faces (or facets) join together to form a point. An
alternate is when the facets come together with a flat
edge. This is not as common, and referred to as a chisel
tip.
Additionally, an interesting flat circle type inclusion is
found just below the surface and can be seen in the
pictures.
Facets (or faces) are clean and smooth and clarity is
excellent. The specimen is a generous size for an AA grade
Herkimer Diamond.
