Herkimer Diamond Mines
Break open dolostone in the open surface mines with a hammer to free doubly terminated quartz crystals, or screen a purchased bag at the sluice station.
A visita
Por que vale a pena a viagem
Cracking rock to reveal a fully formed crystal makes the link between host rock and finished gem material immediate rather than theoretical.
