I mined crystals at the Herkimer Diamond Mines many times between 1998 and 2012. I kept the nice ones and got rid of the others. Now I'm selling my collection to people who have an appreciation for nice crystals.
The pictures do not do them justice. You really need to hold them in your hand and move them in the light to see their real beauty.
All are Grade A or B with a few AA's.

If you are interested, please send me an email at Bob.Davidson2@yahoo.com
Include the Item Numbers you want and I will hold them for you.
You can examine them at my house or we can meet somewhere. I live in Churchton, Md.
