April's Birthstone: Herkimer Diamond

Touchstone Gallery for the month of April is offering a fun to wear line of Herkimer Diamonds. Herkimer is not a diamond but gets the name from its locality in Herkimer County, NY. It is a quartz with 7.5 on the hardness scale. The really special thing about this stone is that it is double terminated, in the metaphysical world double terminated crystals with its pure, crystal light, clears the chakras, opening channels for spiritual energy to flow. The double terminated quartz also lends itself to making beautiful settings with a point at the bail end and the drop. Our customers really love the BoHo look of this line of jewelry with its casual style that can be dressed up or down.

Care: Although as before mentioned Herkimer Diamonds are a durable stone, it is advised to take your jewelry off when doing things like gardening or other physical activities that might knock against the settings. A gentle cleaning with a soft brush and a mild soap or glass cleaner is all you need to keep your crystals sparkling and your chakras humming. OMM. Namaste!
