This gorgeous, 2.25 inch long, Large Rainbow DT Herkimer Diamond, weighing 298 grams or 10.5 ounces displays lots of rainbow inclusions in this lovely piece and a sprinkling of large dark hematite inclusions as well.
Herkimer Diamonds are double-terminated quartz crystals with a hexagonal growth pattern that come from Herkimer County in New York State. This specimen comes from the Ace of Diamonds Mine in Middleville, New York.
This crystal transmits a very grounding, yet physically uplifting energy. Herkimers generally are known to help in clearing mind and body of unconscious fears and other negative energies. They promote relaxation and energetic renewal.
Properties of Herkimer Diamonds
Herkimer Diamonds grow in a 500 million year old rock formation known as Little Falls Dolostone. Herkimer Diamonds grow in cavities in the rock which often contain hydrocarbons and hemaite. The Herkimer Diamonds will grow abundantly in these cavities, creating a druzy carpet of beautiful crystals on the inside of the cavity, creating lovely geodes in some cases.
The Herkimer is known to lightworkers as an attunement stone.
Two Herkimers can be used to attune the bearer to another person, environment or activity.
Place one Herkimer in one location and keep the other with you to maintain the attunement. Two Herkimers can be held simultaneously by two people in a brief meditation, and when they each leave with one, the two will remain in attunement.
Crystal healers say that the Herkimer Diamond stimulates clairvoyant and clairaudient abilities, directing energy into the upper chakras, especially the second or third eye chakra between the eyebrows.
Hematite grounds the bearer and nourishes the root chakra, enhancing one’s self of well-being and self-worth.
The combination of Herkimer Diamond and Hematite connects you to Higher Mind, Higher Purpose and Angelic Realms, while keeping you firmly grounded in physical reality.
The combination of Hematite and Herkimer Diamond is a potent one, and any Lightworker could benefit from using this powerful light tool, so dear to Archangel Michael.
Esoteric Christianity makes a link between hematite and Archangel Michael, and a quartz crystal containing hematite can provide the bearer with a powerful connection to Michael, providing access to the Archangel's loving wisdom and power to dissolve illusion through the activity of his famous sword, the sword of Ultimate Truth.
During the Libran month, in the first weeks of October, in the northern hemisphere, at the onset of the fall season, dedicated to Archangel Michael, the Draconid and/or Orionid meteor showers are often visible.
At this time of year, when sensational meteor showers, largely composed of iron, traditionally streak across the night sky, Esoteric Christian philosopher Rudolph Steiner’s clairvoyant vision saw the traditional flashing iron sword of Michael.
The meteoric sword of Michael was thought to cleanse the Earth’s atmosphere of summer's sulfurous influences, allowing the Higher Self to emerge and guide the initiate along the path of Spirit toward the birth of the Inner Christ Light, an event which takes place in December, during the festival of Christmas.

This crystal has been cleaned with Universal Life Force Energy, and given an energy attunement using Reiki, a Japanese technique of energy healing, so it will continue to receive and transmit Universal Life Force Energy direct from the Source of Creation.
