A glassy, gem-like Herkimer Diamond quartz scepter very nicely accented with a shard of matrix and a smaller crystal from the famous deposits at Middleville, New York. The internal crazing really adds character to the complete-all-around "diamond" and the quartz stalk is also terminated, thus this is a doubly terminated specimen. Ex. Daniel Trinchillo Sr. Collection.
