Diamond Acres diggings

Fonda, Mohawk Township, Montgomery County, New York, USA

A ‘pay to dig’ mineral specimen mining operation producing Herkimer-style Quartz specimens.

I say ‘herkimer style’ here, because “Herkimer” is specifically a trade name for clear, dual terminated Quartz crystals from Herkimer County, New York.

Geologically, there isn’t much difference.

The site produces gemmy, water clear Quartz which is often well or dual terminated.
