02edd64n - Quartz var. "Herkimer Diamond" - $ 6000 Ace of Diamonds Mine, Middleville, Herkimer County, New York, USA small cabinet, 9.0 x 8.5 x 3.3 cm ex. Dr. Edward David
This is a particularly aesthetic cluster of herk's, with real elegance to it instead of the "jumbliness" we so often get in larger chain clusters of these gem crystals. For that matter, the piece has crystals of a uniform gemminess and clarity , not marred by the usual ugly duckling in the midst of most clusters of several crystals or more. Taken together, these qualities make it a very special piece. Ed loved these, and had over 15 examples in the collection, more than any other variety of quartz. All, like this one, were carefully chosen by somebody who's seen literally hundreds over the years, to be extra special. I should say that, as with generally ALL large herkimer clusters, this piece is multiply repaired (by the collectors, usually). Comes with custom base.

D06-168 - Quartz Herkimer Diamond - $ 6750 Ace of Diamonds Mine, Middleville, New York, USA large cabinet, 19.0 x 10.8 x 6.5 cm
A wonderfully elegant daisy-chain of attached crystals, from this classic locale! This was found around 1990, and comes from a private collection assembled over 40 years of highgrading the locality. This is a really beautiful piece, especially for the size, because of the intricacy of the cluster. Now, these are impossible, or nearly so, to get out intact and most chains exhibit many reconnections that are accepted in context, given the nature of the dposit. This one certainly has some repairs, at the natural contact points.
