A truly exceptional and aesthetic cluster of Herkimer quartz "diamonds." The fabulous, facet-like, 5.0 cm "diamond" has incredible clarity and amazing internal patterns. The crystal gives beautiful internal rainbow refractions, as the photo highlights. The smaller "diamonds" attached to the side look just like jewels. The super diamond rests on a base of very glassy, but more translucent quartz crystals, really setting off the "crown jewel." This is a superb, complete-all-around and pristine specimen. Ex. Leithauser Collection.
