Small Herkimer Diamond |
The other sample I showed you needed cleaning. During the process, I dropped it in the trash barrel. I went through the trash three times without success. I went on eBay and bought a gram or two of them for just a little money. This may be the best of the lot and also the smallest. The coin on the left is a dime. I hope to use this crystal to show how my lenses work based on the size of the subject.
The crystal is hexagonal, six sided. It is doubly terminated, meaning it closes at each end. It probably needs cleaning but I am afraid to do so at this time.
