Herkimer Diamonds

Herkimer Diamonds take their name from an area in New York state. General Nicholas Herkimer, of German-American descent, a prominent land owner, fought during the American Revolution. They are referred to as ‘diamonds’ because of their shape and brilliance. The Mohawk Indians used these stones for trading, healing and ritual using them as attunement stones to attune themselves with others, their environment or activity. Herkimer style diamonds can be found in Mexico, Spain and Morocco.

Herkimers are a variety of quartz (silicon dioxide) with a hardness of 7.5, which is harder than most quartz varieties, and are fairly short, small and double terminated. Quite often they have black inclusions of carbon and can contain water. It is possible to go to New York state, visit the ‘mine’, hire a variety of tools and find your own. The stones themselves are located in what are known as vugs, or small caves. When these are discovered they can contain a few thousand ‘diamonds’ ranging in size from a few millimetres to up to 20 cm.

These crystals, are manifestations of pure, solidified spiritual light. They are one of the highest vibrational stones in existence and are ideal for use in layouts, dream work, meditation and balancing the energy field. They are also extremely good at magnifying the energies of other stones.

Herkimers, being electrical, can help activate any of the chakras, but are especially suitable in opening the brow and crown chakras. They are particularly well suited to creating inter dimensional doorways with their internal structure making them ideal for transmitting and receiving energy. Herkimers emanate the brightest crystal Light of the Divine Essence and wearing them can enable a constant connection to the higher spiritual domains. Angels are drawn to the pure etheric radiance of these stones, so where Angelic communication is sought, these can be used very effectively.

Herkimers are understood to still carry the Clear Vision from the Universal Logos. This means so much more than seeing clearly, it involves the highest possible connection into Light where there is no distortion from perceptions of limitation and helps transform ones vision beyond the physical, emotional and mental into perfect clarity and truth.
