Ace of Diamonds Mine, Middleville, Herkimer Co., New York Sparkling quartz crystals from many localities are called "diamonds," but premier among these are the so-called "Herkimer diamonds" from New York. This doubly-terminated, 3 ½ -inch long crystal is quite large for this locality, and it is nicely perched on its matrix. Most Herkimer specimens on the market are clusters and they are repaired. The present specimen is notable for having a single large, unrepaired, isolated crystal on matrix which is rare for the locality. Offered on a custom-fitted Lucite base. Measures 6 x 4 ½ x 2 ¾ in
