Physical Characteristics: A particularly clear form of Quartz, often with inclusions, usually double-terminated crystals found in the Herkimer, New York area. We have no verification of this tale, but legend has it that General Herkimer divided his troops during the revolutionary war, sending half to fight and half to mine these "diamonds" to sell to France for weapons and ammunition.
Metaphysical Properties: One very important use of Herkimer "Diamonds" is during healing sessions, particularly prior to the laying on of stones. The practitioner and the patient should hold a Herkimer together, enabling a "joining" and attunement with one another. Indeed, Herkimers can be used for attunement in many circumstances. To assist with group dynamics, each person should hold a Herkimer with the intent of connecting and attuning with the others in the group. Carrying the Herkimers will then help the individuals to be in tune with and harmonize with the others in the group. It is also a good stone for storing and retrieving information, and can therefore be "programmed" to impart love and healing energy to another.
