Introduction

This High Clarity Herkimer-Style Quartz Bracelet represents one of the finest examples of double-terminated quartz available today. Each 6.8 mm bead has been precision-cut and mirror-polished to showcase the water-clear transparency and brilliant internal reflections that make Herkimer-style quartz so sought after.

Though sourced from China, this material displays the same optical brilliance and diamond-like luster as genuine Herkimer quartz from New York — a natural crystal beauty at a fraction of the rarity price.

Geological Details

Double-terminated quartz forms in open cavities where silica crystals grow freely without attachment, allowing terminations at both ends. The result is a highly symmetrical, prismatic structure with incredible optical clarity. This variety belongs to the silicate class and crystallizes in the trigonal system. Flecks of anthraxolite — natural carbon — add depth and authenticity, producing subtle grey-black contrasts within each bead.

Aesthetic Appeal

Every bead gleams with a cool, crystalline brilliance. Light passes through clean quartz with minimal interruption, illuminating fine internal textures and inclusions that shimmer like threads of smoke suspended in glass. The 6.8 mm size strikes a balance between elegance and everyday wearability, making it ideal for both collectors and design enthusiasts.

Metaphysical Properties

Known as a stone of clarity and amplification, Herkimer-style quartz is believed to enhance energy flow, clear mental fog, and strengthen intention. Its double-terminated formation symbolizes balance — energy moving freely in both directions — making it a powerful tool for meditation, attunement, and manifestation.

Legacy Note on Origin

True Herkimer Diamonds are mined in New York’s Mohawk Valley. This bracelet features Herkimer-style quartz from China, naturally double-terminated and polished to high clarity. It offers the same brilliance and structure as traditional Herkimer quartz, making it an accessible yet refined addition to any collection.
