HERKIMER DIAMONDS -

The Herkimer Diamond is actually a Quartz crystal, and not a diamond at all. What makes the Herkimer diamond different than other quartz crystals is that they are double terminated, meaning that they developed points on both ends. In fact this development is so even and precise that it is often difficult to tell just where the ends are on these little “Gems”. And what is even more extraordinary in their double termination in this manner is that not only are the faces of these stones pretty much the same all of the way around, but also there is great clarity throughout the stone. Also like diamonds, Herkimers can have a slight color tint found in some of them which deepens their radiance. I prefer the Herkimer over that of the diamond simply because there is so little Ego that is associated with it as compared to the diamond. The Medicine of the Herkimer diamond is that of Support to Balance, and Change of Attitude and Heart. These stones can be used in any direction of the Medicine wheel and make excellent center stones for obvious reasons. In one’s Medicine bag, the Herkimer can be used to represent Truth and Balance, and it will always tell of the true Heart desires when used in divining.
