Item Description
Matrix Herkimer quartz diamond specimens are rare because the crystals commonly break off matrix during collecting, as the matrix is usually very hard. This unique and dramatic CABINET specimen features a 2.8 cm, water-clear, facet-like, Herkimer gem fabulously set in a 5.0 cm see-through vug in large matrix. Herkimer specimens of this size and form are uncommonly rare and are highly desirable. Ex Richard Hauck Quartz Collection.
