Interesting stop - who doesn't need a beautiful quartz "diamond"
Herkimer Diamond Mines的点评
点评：Herkimer Diamonds are exquisite gemstones, cut and faceted by Mother Nature with 18 facets and two termination points. Although widely referred to as diamonds, Herkimer Diamonds are actually quartz crystals, not diamonds. They are most commonly short and stubby (less than one inch long) and have a hardness of 7.5 on the MOH scale of hardness, with 10 being the hardest (natural diamonds). These gems are usually exceptionally clear and exhibit a brilliant sparkle but might also be smoky or contain rainbow inclusions, air bubbles, or black carbon deposits. Herkimer County is one of the few places in the world where these crystals are easily found, and only crystals mined in this area can rightfully be called “Herkimers.”
You can go out into the above-ground diamond field and dig for diamonds yourself, you can buy bags of soil and sluice, or you can go to the gift shop and buy crystals and cut jewels. We opted for the last option. The stones have a wide range of pricing and good selection of uncut, cut and set diamonds.
Worth the stop

翻译：赫基默钻石是大自然精心切割和刻面的宝石，拥有 18 个刻面和两个端点。虽然赫基默钻石被广泛称为钻石，但它实际上是石英晶体，而不是钻石。它们通常又短又粗（长度不到一英寸），莫氏硬度为 7.5，莫氏硬度为 10（天然钻石）。这些宝石通常非常清晰，散发出耀眼的光芒，但也可能呈烟熏色或含有彩虹内含物、气泡或黑色碳沉积物。赫基默县是世界上为数不多的容易找到这些晶体的地方之一，只有在该地区开采的晶体才能被称为“赫基默”。
您可以到地上的钻石场亲自挖钻石，也可以买一袋袋土壤和水闸，或者去礼品店买水晶和切割珠宝。我们选择了最后一个选项。这些宝石的价格范围很广，未切割、已切割和已镶嵌的钻石种类繁多。
值得一看
