Herkimer Diamond

Herkimer diamond is a type of quartz found only in Herkimer County, New York. It forms in double terminated crystals that are completely transparent and have an exceptional clarity. Herkimer diamonds exhibit a vitreous luster and hexagonal crystal structure. They rank 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Herkimer diamonds are called the "attunement stone" because they amplify energies. They enhance clarity and focus during meditation, channeling and energy work. Herkimers open the crown chakra to receive insights, visions and spiritual guidance. They boost psychic gifts and attune one to higher consciousness.

In crystal healing, Herkimer diamonds stimulate clairvoyance and extrasensory perception. They energize yet soothe the nervous system and eliminate toxins. Herkimers can alleviate stress, fears and addictions when consciously programmed. They are excellent for dream work and astral travel.
