Incredible selection of Herkimer diamonds. Here we have our our variety where I live, and these are called "Buxton diamonds", though since the site was virtually stripped in victorian times, I've never found any. The clear ones of yours are truly magnificent. Being in a quartz matrix, I can well imagine how difficult it can be to dig them out without damaging them. Thanks for sharing with your great video. GL & HH :D
These are not Diamonds, they are quartz. They got the name Herkimer Diamond for their quality and clarity. Its the clearest quartz in the world. Very nice collection.
that is an incredibly cool collection. I had to pause the video and look up Herkimer diamond. The clarity is unreal. I'm going to have to acquire some of those for my rock collection. I live near the diamond hill mine in SC and have never been to it. Planning a trip for next week and saw your video. Thanks for posting.
Those are beautiful!!! We have those same crystals in AZ, but obviously they are not called herkimers.... We call them payson diamonds. Very rare to find a whole one though, lots of almost whole ones, and some with amethyst tips, but not anywhere as perfect as herkimers.
i see you have a nice assortment of herkimer diamonds i also have a small collection of herkimer diamonds not as big as yours most of mine are small crystals with a few larger ones i also have garnet from the garnet mines when i was younger i loved to go dig them but havent done it in years cant wait to see your upcoming videos bye for now and may all your finds be silver and gold
Tragically, [aaaargh] I had a wonderful Herkimer, clear and a good shape, and i carried it around in my handbag....big error, as it now has chips.....that was many years ago, and now I never carry Herkimers, just keep them safe. I love the clarity of them, but they are expensive.
I have two rings set with herkimer "diamonds" the reason they are so special is the natural terminations. They set them in the setting just like they come out of the ground. They make the settings match the stone. They are fun to wear. Most people don't know what they are. Mine are in silver and they didin't cost a whole lot.
Yeah those are HERKIMER DIAMONDS, and I have been to the Herkimer Diamond mine and I have a bueiful collection of these stones I placed them into a my safebaggie and then in my safe. The thing that makes these Herkimer Diamonds so special is because you can ONLY find / mine then in ONE place throughout the country possibly the world this is what puts them in high demand beside their beauty. You have a very large collection chinchillam maybe I will see you up there soon cause i'm planning it now.
When I was at the HEKIMER DIAMOND MINE we stayed in our RV near the mine, I got so muddy & hot but fun this time were staying a full week, there are several other mines near HERKIMER I may try them out too. Its so dam funny when you find a HERKIMER diamond you get so excited other prospectors run over to see what you found and most times get jealous and they start moving in on your digging space, but it was all fun! I would mine selling some of mine, I want to have a jeweler make me a -->
@TheBottlefreak Same here, I was watching the opal mines on tv and they have some beautiful pieces coming out now. They actually sold off a share of the bonanza mine a few years ago for $20,000. Im thinking of going next year, HH!
Herkimer diamonds are not actually diamonds, but are double-terminated quartz crystals of exceptional clarity (water-clear) discovered within exposed outcrops of dolostone in and around Herkimer County, New York and the Mohawk River Valley.
i du them in ny as well as the herkimer diamonds havent been to either place in years i want to say the garnet mine was at gore mountain but i could be wrong loved howes cavern and the caves of kentucky would like to go opal hunting saw a few shows on tv about the opal mines maybe some day bye for now and happy hunting
You should sell these and make some money . I don't know what rough diamonds look like ,but these are shaped and polished . Have you gotten one tested ?

I agree, he needs to do his research.
+Taps fan they can be faceted. I saw one, in a ring, on HSN. They are sold on HSN.

I still can't believe Herkimer burned down! So sad. I had just been there a week before.
What do you do with all of them? Do you sell them? You should open a store on etsy, a lot of people would buy from you .
i du them in ny as well as the herkimer diamonds havent been to either place in years i want to say the garnet mine was at gore mountain but i could be wrong loved howes cavern and the caves of kentucky would like to go opal hunting saw a few shows on tv about the opal mines maybe some day bye for now and happy hunting
How much can you get for the clearer ones? How about the larger ones? If you were to sell ofcourse.
Beautiful
I have one of these I think. Same shape and color, but my stone has a chunk of black that is big and has no definitive shape.
You should sell these and make some money . I don't know what rough diamonds look like ,but these are shaped and polished . Have you gotten one tested ?
They are not real diamonds. They are quartz that are called diamonds due to there clarity. Also the crystals are natural.
