Herkimer Diamonds are not true diamonds but are exceptionally clear, naturally faceted, double-terminated quartz crystals discovered in Herkimer County, New York, USA. They are prized for their brilliance, exceptional clarity, and natural dual termination, which allows them to both transmit and receive spiritual energy. They possess a high vitreous lustre and are often included with tiny black carbon deposits. Due to their natural faceting and hardness, they are often set directly into delicate jewellery.
Herkimer Diamond is known as the "Stone of Attunement and Dreamwork." It carries the high energy of Clear Quartz but amplifies it even further, making it a supreme tool for spiritual connection, dream recall, and advanced meditation. It is believed to attune people to one another and link them to higher spiritual guides. It cleanses the subtle bodies and is excellent for clearing electromagnetic pollution, enhancing clairvoyant and spiritual vision.
Hardness: 7.5 on the Mohs scale (slightly harder than regular quartz, making it quite durable).
Chakra: Primarily the Crown Chakra (for spiritual connection) and the Third Eye Chakra (for dreamwork and vision).
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius and Aries.
Benefits: Enhances dream recall and lucid dreaming, promotes spiritual attunement and higher connection, amplifies energy and intention (especially for distant healing), clears electromagnetic pollution, and boosts clairvoyant and intuitive abilities.
Source: Herkimer County, New York, USA (the only authentic source).
How to use Herkimer Diamond
Place it in your home: Keep a piece near your bedside or under your pillow to enhance dream recall, promote lucid dreaming, and protect against nightmares.
Meditate with it: Hold the stone or place it on your Third Eye Chakra to quickly achieve a state of high vibration, facilitating contact with spiritual guides and accelerating psychic vision.
Carry it: Keep a piece in your pocket or bag, especially when needing to connect with someone long-distance (energetically), as its dual termination helps it to send and receive energy.
Wear it: As jewellery (earrings or a pendant over the throat/third eye area are highly effective) for continuous spiritual attunement and clarity throughout the day.
Use for energy grids: Its double-termination makes it an ideal central piece in crystal grids, as it is naturally designed to draw in and send out amplified energy simultaneously.
