Herkimer diamonds are double-terminated quartz crystals discovered within exposed outcrops of dolomite in and around Herkimer County, New York, and the Mohawk River Valley in the US. They are not diamonds; the "diamond" in their name is due to both their clarity and well formed faces.
Double-terminated refers to crystals that have natural facets on both ends, and they are quite rare in nature
Herkimer diamonds are quartz crystals, so they share most physical properties with the quartz mineral. However, in order for a quartz crystal to qualify as a Herkimer diamond, it has to both come from Herkimer county and be double-terminated. The actual shape and distribution of the facets, within the double-termination pattern, can vary. Some Herkimer diamonds have a more prominent central section, others are more elongated.
