Notes: |
At one time a much larger cluster specimen, these large
and small Herkimer Diamonds have stayed together.
The smaller crystal, which grew first, measures 11.5x9x7
mm / 3 ct. It's double terminated, water
clear, and cleanly separates from the larger.
The larger measures 23.5x17.5x12 mm / 5+ g.
Shallow key marks are present showing where other crystals
had grown. Clarity is excellent. One tip is
sharp and clean, the other has just a touch of black where
it grew against hydrocarbon.
We think it's fun to keep the specimen as two Herkimer
Diamonds that fit together like a puzzle; but it could be
reconstructed. We leave it to you to decide.
