They are a form of double-terminated quartz crystals that began forming 500 million years ago in the dolomite outcrops throughout Herkimer County, New Year and the Mohawk River Valley. These crystals were discovered in the 18th century and given the "diamond" nickname because of their exceptional clarity and natural faceting. Herkimers can be exceptionally clear and colorless or they may be included with air bubbles or flecks of black carbon. If you are lucky, you will come across a stone with an en hydro inclusion - a bubble of water that was trapped in the crystal during its formation. What is Gold Filled? Gold-filled is made by combining layers of 14Kt gold alloy with a base metal, usually brass. All the beauty of gold for only a fraction of the price. Gold-filled components are known for their durability and can be worn by most people without reactions or difficulties.
