Herkimer Diamond - 3 crystals - New York, USA - 27g

Perhaps because I was accustomed to single-crystal Herkimer diamonds, I was captivated and decided to stock this piece, which features large clusters.
When inverted, the crystal rough stone charmingly resembles Mickey Mouse.

With such large crystals, the Herkimer diamond's transparency, hard luster, and intriguing form are directly conveyed.
As it's a double-terminated quartz, it also offers the fascinating completeness of a quartz crystal.
The signs of impact further intensify its brilliance.

With both the beauty of the crystals and the ruggedness of the rough stone, this Herkimer cluster exudes both beauty and wildness.
Upon closer inspection, each one is an yin-yang quartz, with a sharply pointed tip and a flat tabby face.
It's a powerful energy aggregate, much like the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

Despite its diamond-like transparency and hard luster,
it is mineralogically quartz.
Herkimer diamonds are often called the perfect form of quartz.
Its transparency is said to be more beautiful than that of diamonds in its rough state.
