While attending this year's national Rainbow Gathering in Tennessee, I was gifted a certain quartz crystal, and all I was told was that it was a Herkimer 'Diamond". I didn't really believe them, and I didn't think much more on the subject until I got back home. I decided to take the crystal to my local metaphysical shop today and the owner (who is a wealth of knowledge on stones) was there. She took a look at it for me, and after about half an hour of studying the stone these are the properties she told me were present:

It's double terminated;
Both terminations are generator points;
There are lots of thin horizontal lines on all sides, as well as a faint pinkish hue throughout (reminiscent of Lemurian Seed crystals);
In some spots there are clear rainbow patterns caused by fractures inside;
Trigonics (pointing down) on two facets of one of the terminations;
It's enhydrous (water bubbles trapped inside, lots of them);
There is a manifestation crystal in the center which is also double terminated, and each facet of the interior crystal mirrors the facets of the one growing around it;
Apparently in addition to the manifestation points is a phantom point at one end;
There is a large keyhole beneath the termination on the other end from the phantom point.

According to the shop owner, it appears as though someone wore some of the facets on one of the points down (as if from constantly rubbing it with their thumb) a significant amount, which in her opinion indicates that the crystal was handled by a good few people over quite a number of years. One of the employees in the shop also claimed to see the number 32 inside on one of the facets of the manifestation crystal, but I didn't see it.

The shop owner speculated that it was a very old stone, probably used by several generations of people before it came to my hands. She thinks it has been used by powerfully energetic people based on the power of the crystal itself. I personally got very dizzy from concentrating on it for only a few minutes.

I don't know what's landed in my lap, but from all that I can gather this is a very rare and powerful crystal. I have no idea how to go about doing anything with it, but I'm fairly confident that it caused me to spontaneously astral project a few days ago. I guess I'm just posting here because I'd like to see other peoples' opinions on this crystal, and perhaps find some advice on what to do with it.

Herkimer Diamonds are a type of double-terminated quartz point that are found in upstate NY. They're called "diamonds" due to their exceptional brightness and clarity, rather than because they are actually diamonds.

They're very potent stones. If you are inclined to do crystal work of any sort, you will find this stone to be an excellent tool to work with.
