A striking, gem-like, "Herkimer Diamond" quartz crystal cluster from the famous deposits at Middleville, New York. The large crystal is doubly terminated, as are several of the smaller "diamonds." The termination of the large crystal is razor sharp and is complete-all-around. The internal crazing and clay inclusions really add character to this aesthetic specimen. Ex. Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection.
