Notes: |
A heavy piece of dolomite rock matrix with 3 pockets or vugs of Herkimer Diamonds and one pocket of dolomite crystals.
One side of the specimen has 2 of the Herkimer pockets, see image above. The smaller measures about 30x18 mm and holds a 14x11 mm single sharp tipped crystal as well as a broken one.
Next to this is a larger, deep vug, 58x24 mm coated with druse crystals. On the edge sets a clear 11x9 mm double terminated Herkimer. Iron oxide surrounds it, giving it a golden hue. Deeper in vug are seen 2 small sharp points.
The pocket of dolomite, or dog's tooth crystals is found below this deep pocket.
The other side of the dolomite has a 26x26 mm vug (see top image) that holds a clear sharp 11 mm crystal point as well as a broken crystal. This pocket is coated with druse as well.
A nice specimen of Herkimer Diamonds in dolomite matrix. Because of its weight and size, extra shipping is required. |
