Matrix Herkimer quartz "diamond" specimens are rare because the crystals commonly break off matrix during collecting, as the matrix is commonly very hard. The sculptural matrix on this fine specimen features sharp, glassy, cut gem-like quartz crystals - two aesthetically set on the top and one "diamond" attractively set on either side of the matrix. The large crystal on top is 2.3 x 2.2 cm. This is a rare, visually impressive, complete-all-around, matrix Herkimer diamond specimen from a much less well-known New York locale - Fonda in Montgomery County. Ex. Bob Sullivan Collection.
