Herkimer Diamonds are exquisite gems; they are naturally double-terminated quartz crystals which have formed from dolomite. A process that occurred around 5 million years ago, when magnesium was incorporated into limestone and calcite. Herkimer Diamonds has an excellent way of uplifting the spirit. It has a strong affinity to the higher chakras, especially the Sahasrara Chakra or the Crown Chakra, known as the thousand-petalled lotus. Encouraging you to experience higher levels of consciousness and expand your awareness and connection to Source.
This is what the Crystal Oversoul Attunement cards say about Herkimer Diamond: "Herkimer Diamonds encourage us to be optimistic, positive and relaxed in our attitude. There is such a positive, reassuring message in these crystals that it is hard to remain unhappy around them.
A herkimer diamond reminds us that life can be simple and easy. Their unique energy balances the crown chakra, and it is this centre of power that dictates our overall attitude to life. If we can remember that we are also made in the image of joy radiating from the crown chakra, all that manifests on our behalf will reflect this energy, as well.
Herkimer diamonds help us remember that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. With this in mind, we see the world through the eyes of wonder and excitement"

Chrysoprase is a variety of chalcedony that appears soft apple green, making it desirable. It is cryptocrystalline, meaning it is composed of crystals so fine that they cannot be seen as distinct particles under normal magnification.
