Herkimer Quartz Average 2.90ct 10x8mm Rectangular Octagonal Daydream Cut(Tm). The Gemstone Comes From Herkimer County, New York And Is Cut In Sri Lanka.

Made in the good 'ole USA! Herkimer Quartz is beautiful doubly terminated quartz crystals that are found primarily in Herkimer County in central New York State. Believed to nearly 500 million years old, each crystal is a magnificent work of nature found in the rock. Incredibly, when discovered, they appear to have been faceted by man and have a diamond-like geometrical shape; thus, the nickname - Herkimer Diamonds. The Herkimer Quartz Daydream Cut has a concave faceting custom cutting design that further accentuates the natural beauty of Herkimer Quartz. Depending on the size of the gem, the total number of facets can vary from 26 to 28. The intricate faceting causes them to reflect on top of one another, creating a 'basket weave' pattern that isn't really there. We have to warn you-as you stare at your stone, you may just find yourself getting hypnotized by its design. Due to the nature of the concave design, your gem's appearance may vary slightly from depicted image. The Herkimer Quartz Daydream Cut, a unique offering that was homegrown in the United States, is available exclusively at Jewelry Television and jtv.com.
