What is a Herkimer Diamond? Are Herkimer Diamonds Real Diamonds? 💎 Q & A

What is a Herkimer diamond? Is it a real diamond?
The answer is no, its actually a quartz crystal. Although it does have some special attributes, watch the video to find out more!
Herkimers are from New York in and around Herkimer County only. There are locations around the world that have similar formations, none comparing with the Herkimer deposit.
I’ll be making a future video going much more in depth talking about the location where they form and how they form.
This video was only intended to inform about them not being a diamond, something I get asked a lot!
