About Herkimer Diamonds

Herkimer diamonds will give you and yours a lifetime of enjoyment! Crystals found in the Earth require a coincidence of appropriate conditions which as a result is responsible for the growth of our Herkimer Diamonds.

The environment must provide a crucible of some sort for the crystals to form in. The correct elements for the crystal’s formation must be present and in a state known as free dissociation.  Like common table salt dissolved in water the constituent elements must be moving freely within a confined area and as a result provide the perfect conditions for these elements to come together in a regular geometric pattern.

The pattern for this geometic design is created  by the electrostatic forces at the atomic level.  Atoms in this state act like little magnets and like the north and south poles in magnets they can only attach to each other in ways that are specifically dictated by these forces. It is these forces that ultimately shape the beautiful geometry of Herkimer Diamonds.

The host rock for Herkimer Diamonds is the Cambrian-age, Little Falls Dolostone.  About 500 million years ago Herkimer Diamonds formed in cavities within the Little Falls Dolostone. These cavities contain hydrocarbon which as result result form Drusy quartz crystals.

About Emeralds

Emeralds are fascinating gemstones most of all they have a beautiful, intense and radiant green color. Top quality fine emeralds are even more valuable than diamonds.

The lively luminosity of its color makes the emerald a unique gemstone. However really good quality is fairly rare with inclusions often marring the evenness of the color – signs of the turbulent genesis which  characterizes this gemstone. Fine inclusions do not diminish the high regard of an emerald. On the contrary even with inclusions an emerald in a deep lively green still has a much higher value than an almost flawless emerald whose color is paler.

The name emerald comes from the Greek ‘smaragdos’ via the Old French ‘esmeralde’, and really just means ‘green gemstone’. Innumerable fantastic stories have grown up around this magnificent gem.

Emerald Lore

The ancients ascribed numerous magical and mystical properties to this most precious of green gemstones. In ancient Rome emeralds were believed to have a soothing effect on the soul. Modern scientists have shown this myth to have some basis in fact: tests indicate that the human eye is more sensitive to green than any other color. Middle Age seers used emeralds to foretell the future, as well as to ward off evil spirits and cure ailments ranging from bad eyesight to infertility. The stone was also said to improve memory and bring great wealth to its wearer.
