HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
Herkimer Diamonds are not true diamonds but exceptionally clear quartz crystals discovered in Herkimer County, New York. They were first noted by settlers in the 18th century and admired for their natural double-terminated form, which resembled cut diamonds. Native American tribes in the region valued them as sacred stones for vision and healing.
