Stone Stories: Herkimer

Herkimer Quartz, also known as Herkimer Diamonds, are known as the most powerful of all the quartz crystals, with a high frequency vibration that helps attune oneself to the environment, or a community of people. 

They are named for the area of upstate New York in which they are mined, therefore each of our Herkimer pieces is 100% Made and Sourced in America, right down to the stone. 

The appearance of a Herkimer is similar to a typical Quartz, but it is set apart by the double terminated shape and its extreme clarity, which is why they were originally confused for diamonds! Stone lore tells us that Herkimers are purifying and wearing them on the body can boost the immune system, as well as boost the energy of other crystals near it.
