Matrix "Herkimer Diamond" quartz specimens are rare because the crystals commonly break off matrix during collecting, as the matrix is usually very hard. The sculptural, mounded matrix on this fine specimen is covered with a multitude of small, glassy, transparent smoky quartz crystals. Water-clear, gem-like quartz "diamond" crystals strikingly dominate the specimen. The large crystal is 1.4 cm. Nearly pristine. This is a rare, visually impressive, complete-all-around, matrix Herkimer diamond specimen from this renowned New York locale. Ex. Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection.
