Mining Herkimer Diamonds on the Surface!

We went back to the Ace of Diamonds mine located in Middleville, NY to find more Herkimer Diamonds! These water-clear, double-terminated quartz crystals are stunning! We found some epic crystals on this trip, especially towards the end of the video. The last video we made at this location was very short and didn't show much of the mining we did. So this time we filmed most of the Herkimer Diamonds that we found, plus an overview at the end.

If you're interested in coming to this location you can find details on directions, mining fees, and other info on their website www.herkimerdiamonds.com.

I've seen a lot of other videos about Herkimer diamond mining that focuses on breaking rocks. While this is a high reward strategy, we want to show that it's possible to find several high-quality Herkimer diamonds by just looking in the dirt. This can be done by just walking around, screening, digging with garden tools, and looking for areas of erosion where rain has uncovered the crystals for you!
