Hello lovies :)

It is a beautiful HERKIMER DIAMOND & BLACK ONYX PENDANT & STERLING SILVER CHAIN, 18 INCHES

What Is a Herkimer Diamond?

A Herkimer diamond is not a diamond at all. It is a clear quartz crystal that is found only near the upstate New York town of Herkimer. They are called "diamonds" because they have the appearance of a hand-cut diamond, even though they are naturally occurring crystals. The Herkimer Diamond Mine first opened to the public in 1955, but the crystals themselves are over 500 million years old.

Some believe Herkimer Diamonds closely resemble "diamonds in the rough" which are glass-like stones before they are cut. Although a Herkimer diamond is almost as hard as a diamond, it is still classified as a crystal. A typical Herkimer diamond has 18 faces, giving it the appearance of a cut diamond.

Herkimer diamonds are found in dolomite rock, a layer of limestone that was created millions of years ago when New York State was the floor of a shallow ocean. Many layers of sedimentary rock covered the region. During the Ice Age, glaciers pushed through the region. As the vast sheets of ice began to melt, water washed away some of the rock and exposed the dolomite rock that contains Herkimer diamonds.

We all know what Onyx is and how beautiful it is!

❤ Caring for your SILVER JEWELERY: ❤

The air is what makes it tarnish. Keep it out of the air when you take it off. Keep it in a plastic bag, every night and it will last a lot longer.
