- What is a Herkimer diamond? Is it a real diamond?
The answer is no, its actually a quartz crystal. Although it does have some special attributes, watch the video to find out more!
Herkimers are from New York in and around Herkimer County only. There are locations around the world that have similar formations, none comparing with the Herkimer deposit.
I’ll be making a future video going much more in depth talking about the location where they form and how they form.
This video was only intended to inform about them not being a diamond, something I get asked a lot!
By the way, named the puppy "Matrix"
its different and rockhound oriented, and most important, he loves the name, started answering to it very quickly! - Розваги

yay I'm so excited! I really enjoyed this video!!! I've been studying about crystals and rocks and been reading a lot of books about them~ hearing it from you would be awesome!
It's about four and a half hours from my house.
I plan to go there this summer
A university would love the crystal with water/air for research.👌
Soy de 🇵🇪 peru estoy suscrito porque no haces sorteos tienes muchos minerales ;v
I hope you go to IL
Wow! That's the wildest Herkimer Diamond cluster ever.
Kowboy USA
Dude my thoughts exactly! Just frikin WHATTTTTT!
Matrix is adorable. You have a good puppy there and he's going to be a great dog. Now you just have to train them to help locate and dig the gems
Wow! That cluster is unbelievable! And thanks for the info about Herkimers being harder than regular quartz. I never knew that before.
Wouldn't it be cool if they had videos like this back in grade school,i actually learn a lot from watching these videos
Dude sure would! I would love to have know about this stuff earlier in life but I guess everything happens for a reason, but yea , still would have been cool 😆
Nice choice of name for the little fur baby lol. I love herkimer diamonds. Love that one with the enhydro absolutely beautiful.
Great video Brian. Aaww you named your puppy MATRIX cute. Can't wait for next video 💎🐶💕🤙🏼
Thanks for the lesson on Herkimer diamonds. They always fascinated me. Love your sweet little fuzzball Matrix--what a cutie!
"Fuzzball" was my first thought of him....

I got into a pocket last August and have been piecing them together since. Love them herks
I was wondering about this. I love Matrix, what a cutie!
I Love your knowledge of crystals... they are so beautiful.
Heading back to Herkimer this Sunday for my second trip there and I’m so excited :) LOVE seeing videos about herkimer diamonds!!!❤️
Great video btw that enhydro is a great one!
Herkimer was kind of a road trip weekend spot when I was a kid in the mid-70s. My parents would drive us from Rochester via the NYS Thruway, East to Herkimer. Always thought they were real diamonds! Funny what kids believe and remember! Great post!
Can't wait to see what you dig up
I learned about Herkimer diamonds from you in a previous video. I was so excited to see a large display of them at the rock show I just went to. They are so beautiful!! However these were priced as expensive as real diamonds!!
Herkimer diamonds are beautiful!! They would be lovely as an engagement ring!! Aww you named the puppy Matrix!! Really cool :-)
in my opinion these are not diamonds but quartz
I just love the rainbow flash in Herkimer Diamonds!
Awesome Herkimer Diamond, Your videos are diamonds to me👍💎
Whaaat!!! Thanks to share with us ... every video learning a litlle more
dear crystal collector, I really really really really loved this video! The best thing about your other videos is how I also learn some cool gem facts as you pull them out of the ground~
I wouldn't mind seeing more of these educational videos in the future! I absolutely loved it!
Also matrix is a prefect name for the puppy! I can't believe I didn't think of that lol
Thanks so much for watching! I am making a brand new playlist, and it’s going to be titled questions about minerals, a question and answer type thing. I’ll be doing maybe one per week or try to, thanks so much for the support🙌💎🙏
The Crystal Collector yay I’m so excited! I’m also looking forward to your summer tour videos as well~
I hope you had safe travels and I look forward to the next video! 👏🏼🙌🏼❤️🔮🧙🏼♀️
wow what a gorgeous cluster !
Oh my goodness. This is the first time I’ve seen Matrix that young! What a cutie.
Thanks for the info about herkimers. Such pretty stones for a name that sounds like a cat hacking a hairball. 😁
I really thank you for explaining the difference to me because I was very much confused.😊
Matrix you nailed it!🐶
I knew you said they were quartz in a previous video but never knew they were a 7.5, either way that anyone would love running their hand through that bowl! So beautiful 😍
Ohhhhhh, it feels so good! Imagine if could jump into a pool of them 😆💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊♂️
Thanks for the content!
Thanks. I learnt something new today.
Awesome information thank you 😊
Love Ace of Diamonds. I found a very nice water clear 1" herkimer there a few weeks ago. Such a special gem. I heard the Native Americas in the area also used them in their trading.
Love the name! 👍 Good boy, Matrix 💖
Awesome info. Ty
That enhydro is amazing!!! Hope you make your way up to canada on your tour! Come to souris, Manitoba and get some quality agate, petrified wood, jasper, epidote, and more from the same pit
Next year big Canada trip!!
I have a weakness for Herkimers, and hope to go dig for some someday!!!💕💕💕
Great puppy name 🐶 🥰
Awesome knowledge they are so gorgeous thanks
Those would be fun to find with an air pocket in it for sure, those are really a diamond in the rough
awwwwwwww......Matrix.........I like that!!! : ) Loved my time at the "ace of diamonds" mine.........long long time ago and yes........me and my late husband were always being asked WHY they are called diamonds.......I still have quite a haul of them and plan on finally selling them.........from teenie tiny ones to large ones and matrix with druzzy as well......amazing stuff!!!!
Hellow
Only hydro I had was geodes Indiana solid sparked every time struck. And had oil in center. However upside was bubble fire opal like small interior. Love the calcite and multiform interior.
Amazing video !
Just bought a herkimer diamond necklace and I love it
Great info...
The enhydro is gorgeous.
I had my stone cut. Own several synthetic stones but a clear cut one is magnificent. But I love Sparklies.
AWWWW. MATRIX... perfect 💜
Very interesting ! tfs ✌🏼😊👍🏼💫
Holy Moly! The Cluster!
I have one Herkimer diamond given to me by a fan of my channel. Its cool!
I was wondering about the Herkimers. Thank you for a great lesson, and hi there Matrix, love your new name! There's a California diamond that's only found in one area of the state. They don't seem to have a specific crystal shape. Saw these on Quest for Details.
Yes just that county, and they have odd shapes that’s are so cool 🙌💎
Just got back from ace of diamonds 👍 had a great trip and left with LOTS of great crystals 👍👍👍👍
Ooh! Summer tour? Come out West! Love to see some vids on crystals and minerals from CA.
SAME! I live in Cali and I wanna see where to go!
Will be there this summer !! 🙌🙌🙌💎💎💎💎
Thank you!
👍 nice puppy name 🙂
Matrix!! Woohoo!!!!!!
You are the best
that is one incredible Herkimer... whhaaaaatt?! awesome
Thumbs up! :)
Indiana USA.
Love your videos and we are learning so much. Now we just need to find a good spot for our first dig. There just aren't any good places that we know of here in southern Illinois.
Check out my geode videos!! Great location there !
We have some that my dad got while he was traveling on the army. They were found in the sand, so I guess they would be the ones similar to Herkimer. He had them cut like diamonds in Thailand. They are even more beautiful than diamonds in my opinion. It’s like they glow in the dark. I want to eventually maybe get myself an emerald cut one.
I have a little Herkimer on matrix ....I love it so much..I had always wanted one...It's my little baby...LOL
Oooo Pretty..!! I WANT ONE..!!
Matrix, very cute!
Omg matrix just casually chewing on your thumb 😂
I have to say that Matrix is a great name for him! Can't wait to see what kind of mischief he gets into. 😁 Please feel free to share videos of that as well! 💚
Yes for sure! I just started doing videos on my other channel, the crystal matrix

I hope you come to IL
Watched where someone drank the water out of one
Enjoyed and gave a Thumbs Up
MMAATTRIIXXX!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ That's such a cute name lol
Lovely
That's actually a 3 Phase Enyydro. There's that big bubble floating in solution and 2 small crystals as well. Solid, liquid and gas makes for a 3 phase inclusion.
Yes , a 3 phase! Very few know of that! I had one once that looked like a snow globe with white pieces of feldspar that fell down! 💎🙌
Hey man are you going to come back to north Carolina if so remember the ray mica mine its a great place to look if you do come out here please let me no I would love to dig with you and learn from you
Muiito bonito os cristais
2:47 Seesh, I'd really love to have a glass bowl of flawless Herkimer Diamonds like shown here for a center piece on my coffee table. Imagine putting some multi-colored LED lights underneath it. I bet it would refract in all sorts of seemingly random patterns.
Yes I wish I could have afforded to buy that whole bowl that day! 😆 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎 you have a great idea with the light, that sounds like it will work and look awesome!
A good looking man, a cute dog and some funny diamonds, YES PLEASE
I notice a small black thing flowing with the enhydro bubble. It might be Anthraxolite coal?
Ok so Matrix is the best name... I totally love it. Matrix the rockhound. Lol
I have learned something new again, I didn't realise they are not diamonds though I have a cloudy misshapen one my son gave me from his shop. He sent the message a diamond for a diamond lady bless him. Have you named your puppy yet Bryan? I look forward to the coming episodes. Take care my friend, good luck and happy fossicking Mary-Ellen UK
Yes names him “matrix! 💜💜💜💜🐶🐶🐶🙏
Awesome vid.
I have one critique for you tho.
Its not very loud. Not a big deal cuz i just turned the volume up. But then an add came on after and it was super loud!
Not the end of the world but just wanted to tell you... :)
Keep up the good work.
Oh and by the way matrix is a cool name for your pup :)
I approve :P
Great video! I live on Long Island would love to take trip up there but don't have a car😢😢😢. Are they worth any 💵💵
You named the dog matrix!!!!!!!!! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Come to the gem mountain in Spruce Pine NC
