Matrix Herkimer Quartz "diamonds"

Item Description

Five faceted gem-like Herkimer quartz "diamonds"are aesthetically set atop mounded matrix covered with sparkly iron oxide-infused drusy quartz crystals on this sculptural miniature. The large crystal is 1.8 cm and they are all pristine. Matrix Herkimer "diamond" specimens are rare because the crystals commonly break off matrix during collecting, as the matrix is usually very hard. The sculptural quality of this uncommon matrix piece and the placement of the isolated, gem-like Herkimer make this a very fine, rare, highly representative specimen.
