Natural Herkimer Diamond (Quartz Crystal) Sterling Silver Ring Size 5.5

Natural Herkimer Diamond Sterling Silver Ring Size 5.5 New in package, unworn except for photos Boho style Herkimer diamonds are double-terminated quartz crystals discovered within exposed outcrops of dolomite in and around Herkimer County, New York, and the Mohawk River Valley in the US. They are not diamonds; the "diamond" in their name is due to both their clarity and well-formed faces. Quoted from:https://www.rockngem.com/what-are-herkimer-diamonds/ Designated the official state mineral of New York in 2012, Herkimer diamonds are one of seven rare gems and minerals found in the Empire State, including almandine garnet, calcite, celestine, dravite, magnetite and sphalerite. “Herks,” as they are called, are naturally faceted (18 facets) quartz and score a seven on the Mohs hardness scale, measuring gemstone resistance to scratching. Only the topaz, ruby, sapphire and (carbon) diamonds are harder. The doubly-terminated points (natural faces) on these hexagonal quartz crystals have made them coveted for both their elegant luster and metaphysical status as an energy amplifier.
