Herkimer Diamonds – What are they and why should you be working with one?

Renowned for their unique appearance and incredible metaphysical properties, the Herkimer Diamond isn't just any ordinary quartz crystal. Native to Herkimer County, New York, these double-terminated quartz crystals are one of nature's most powerful healing stones. Their appearance is clearly captivating, yet their allure extends far beyond aesthetics.

Known for amplifying spiritual energy and promoting clarity of the mind, they facilitate meditation and attunement, providing a conduit to our higher self. Their natural double termination allows them to emit energy from both ends, making them powerful tools for removing energy blockages and balancing the body's energy fields. Herkimer Diamonds also stimulate psychic abilities, enhance dream recall, and promote lucid dreaming. Moreover, they are known to detoxify the body and guard against geopathic stress and help our body repair damage from electromagnetic pollution, making them extremely beneficial in our modern world, saturated with electronic devices.

Everyone stands to gain from the therapeutic and protective properties of Herkimer Diamonds. Whether you are a spiritual practitioner looking to augment your spiritual growth, an individual seeking emotional and physical healing, or someone who simply appreciates the beauty of crystals and want to add to your collection, working with Herkimer Diamonds is immensely rewarding. Embracing the Herkimer Diamond's incredible benefits can contribute to a life of greater balance, vitality, and spiritual awakening.

Due to the rarity of these crystals, they are quite valuable. That results in fakes and misrepresentations all over the market. Places like Etsy, eBay, metaphysical shops, etc. are saturated with these fakes. It is quite common to find glass pieces and/or clear quartz being sold as Herkimer Diamonds. Shop with caution! Often sellers are not aware that they are selling fakes. At Mystical Medicinals every single crystal is hand-selected by Mackenzie, an expert in crystal authenticity. Not only does she ensure each piece is authentic, she also diligently ensures the ethical practices in obtaining the crystals.
