Clear Quartz vs Herkimer Diamond — Quartz, but Different
Herkimer is technically clear quartz — but it works differently.
△
Herkimer Diamond is a specific clear quartz from Herkimer County, New York. Naturally double-terminated (points on both ends), with extreme clarity and high vibration. Regular clear quartz is the universal master amplifier. Herkimer is its higher-frequency, sharper-edged cousin.
