Notes: |
The large size of this quality Herkimer Diamond is only one feature of it's atypical characteristics. It is internally clean, except for an unusual bubbly inclusion that has an elliptical shape. Very interesting, and can be seen in the photographs above. It's best seen with a loupe, so we're including one! Externally, a bit of black hydrocarbon and iron oxide are present that only add to it's authenticity. Both are seen in the photos below. Another unusual characteristic is the shape of this Herkimer crystal. It's depth is half of its length, making it a tabby crystal. Metaphysically inclined persons will be interested to know that a tabby is carried to enhance communication, creativity, smooth energy flow and integration of ideas and balance. As befits any quality Herkimer Diamond crystal, factet lines are crisp, double terminations are present, and clarity is excellent. Additionally, it comes encased in a 3 dimensional display case, see bottom photograph. |
