Quartz, Vera Cruz Amethyst, Herkimer Diamond Natural D/T Point 3 Stone Sterling Silver Pendant

Quartz, Vera Cruz Amethyst, Herkimer Diamond Natural D/T Point 3 Stone Sterling Silver Pendant (shop SKU SBHVQP158) is offered as a pendant online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

Herkimer diamonds are double-terminated quartz crystals, traditionally associated with Herkimer County, New York; they are quartz, not diamond. In crystal traditions, they are associated with clarity. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth.

Because the material is natural, its color and pattern vary from piece to piece. The title lists 3 stones in the design. D/T, or double terminated, means the crystal has a natural or cut point at both ends. Vera Cruz amethyst is amethyst from Veracruz, Mexico, often in clear, pale-lilac points.
