Description from the seller

5 pcs / 31.55 ct - Lot of Rare Herkimer Diamond Quartz, excellent quality with 2 Scepter, from Skardu, Pakistan

Beautiful lot of 5 natural double terminated Herkimer Diamond Quartz Crystals, from the Skardu district in Pakistan. Some crystals are fully terminated on both ends and 2 are in Scepter shape, showing high clarity with internal reflections, inclusions, and brilliant optical effects typical of Herkimer Quartz. Some crystals are fully intact, others display minor natural contacts, growth etching, or partially developed terminations.

Origin: Skardu, Pakistan
Total Weight: 31.55 ct / 6.31 g
Pieces: 5
Size Range: 6 – 20 mm
Condition: Natural crystals, some perfect other with minor edge contacts or growth marks present. Any visible imperfections are shown in the photos and are a natural part of the stone's authenticity.

NOTE - Why is it called "Herkimer Diamond"?
This crystal is commonly called "Herkimer Diamond" due to its natural shape, transparency, and brilliance, but it is not a diamond. It is a unique variety of double-terminated quartz, originally discovered in Herkimer County, New York. This name is now used more broadly to refer to crystals with these same unique qualities, regardless of their origin.

Highly suitable for collectors, jewelry makers, metaphysical uses or resale.


***All photos were taken using lamp light, with professional photographic lenses, to enhance the colors and also the details and imperfections of the gem. Looking with the naked eye, possible streaks, inclusions and imperfections are much less visible or not visible at all.***

The live color may be of a slightly different shade because it changes based on each different screen in which it is viewed.

AAA – See all my auction lots, if you win multiple lots, you only pay 1 shipping.
IMPORTANT - You must wait for the end of all auctions before paying if you want Catawiki to combine the shipment automatically.

Seller's Story

Welcome to Angolo Vetusto Earth Stones, my name is Dalla Stella Federico. Since I was a child, I have been fascinated by gems and minerals, and by the search and discovery of their true nature. This passion eventually grew into a desire to make it my life and profession, leading me to study and become a professional lapidary, as well as an expert in minerals from around the world, with a special focus on Italian specimens. I am an expert lapidary, specializing in cutting and polishing hard stones such as Australian and Ethiopian opals, agates, quartzes, jaspers, and more. Ongoing study has led me and continues to lead me to create increasingly precise work, with great attention to the smallest details, in order to best enhance the natural beauty of each gem. I import high-quality minerals and raw gems from all over the world, to offer only the finest specimens to high-level collectors.
