Description: Quartz (Var.: Herkimer Diamond) Locality: Herkimer County, New York, USA (Locality at mindat.org) Size: 13.9 x 11.9 x 9.3 cm. These are small, "diamond"-like crystals, of the intense gemminess that makes these crystals so famous. They measure to 1.3 cm. As with the other specimen, these crystals are on a bed of sparkly, light taupe-colored quartz crystals (drusy) rather than the usual gray rock, which adds to the attractiveness.
