Large Herkimer Quartz "diamond" (Whitmore Coll.)

Item Description

A striking, huge and rare Herkimer quartz "diamond" from a very uncommon New York locale - the St. Johnsville Quarry. This stunning, complete all-around and pristine crystal is water-clear, super-glassy and has complex form. The intense, internal crazing really adds to the panache in every turn of this gem-like crystal. Very aesthetically attached to a wedge of matrix coated with pyrite and dolomite crystals. Superlative material from this uncommon locale. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection and valued at $750-1000 for size, rarity and quality.
