Mining Herkimer 'Diamonds'

- This short clip is a glimpse of us mining Herkimer Diamonds at Crystal Grove Diamond Mine just outside of St Johnsville, NY.
For those of you who may be unfamiliar, Herkimer "Diamonds" are a form of clear quartz that sometimes develop double terminated crystals. Good specimens form loose in a vug, or pocket, without attaching to the dolomite that surrounds them, resulting in perfect 6-sided "football shaped" forms that are water clear.

Awesome outing Dave. That must have been a blast.
Mining diamonds is a really hard work. Hats off to you 😎😎😇😇
Cool find! I am a huge crystal addict and I find it funny that all these people are accusing you of saying that they are diamonds! They are not diamonds but he clearly wrote it with quotes. They are called herkimer diamonds but that's just the name. This guy is just using correct terms.
Honestly I just think people don't read the description 😀. Thanks for stopping by!
Excidamus , 😘😘
I love watching your videos
Que maravilha,sou apaixonada por cristais , adoro assistir e aprender. Like. Parabéns. Também amo as plantas e a natureza
Very cool. I recently started gold panning but I subbed bc I look forward to other cool videos like this :) the thrill of the hunt! cheers ✌️
Cool! I haven't tried panning yet - there's only traces of gold in my area. But it definitely sounds fun. Find any nuggets yet?
Nice
I remember when i was 7 years old i accidentally drop a big rock and almost landed on my toe but luckily it didnt. It split open and the only thing i remember inside was like a shiny blue stone. But i had no idea it was i diamond. Now i just wish i could go through a time machine and keep it so we wouldnt be so broke
May be it was lapis lazuli
@@mekboi7 Lol
I have been there a few times, always find a couple but it can be some work. You can bring your own tools or rent some. There is two sides of the mine open to the public. It's kinda more like a quarry .
If you travel there from a distance and never been, don't forget to check out Howe's Caverns.
Amazing!
Parabéns amigo,,é trabalhoso,mas compensa...muito lindo...
Amigo que é isso mesmo

Hi
Wow! diamond's rich overnight.I come across such big stones without noticing they are diamond.
That hard rock is not giving up her treasures easily.
It is always nice to find something pretty
Yes it is! Thanks for stopping by!
Do you know if there's any diamonds in the desert
Very beautiful
Great find , I have a few of these the size of a finger, never thought about selling them until I watched your video..thanks.
They aren't worth a ton, but a particularly nice specimen can be worth several hundred dollars, easily.
Amazing
maravilhas da natureza
Very nice video
Nice work. Yay!!!!
Thanks!
nice one?
when I was a child before and go for gold mine. I was amazed to collect those quarts in diamond shape. because I thought its diamond and my aunt laugh at me.
They're beautiful, but not worth much. I still enjoy collecting them
Call me and whatsapp me bro +91-9542634269
how did you know there is gem pocket inside
?
You never know for certain. This mine has good sized pockets about every meter or meter and a half. So I try to move as much stone as possible to raise my chances in finding one.

Sid Roy I probably can’t afford it
விமல் ராஜ் like I said, I can’t afford it
There's a lot of that in my place we just ignored that stone
Interesting! We also have quartz locally that doesn't look this nice (I live 400 miles from the mine), and people still collect it, and it's for sale at gem and mineral shops
Here in the Philippines ignore that😂
These crystal stone find in our area, 2 to 4 cm long in size.
Fantastic
oh my. hard work

Super
These crystals are Quartz as it has hexagonal crystal system, and it is formed with the cavity filling mechanism, raw diamonds would not be so shiny and it has cubic crystal system, mainly it would be found with irregular shape and it will look like ice, and Diamonds would be found in only the Kimberlite (the host rock) or near it, which you have to search near volcano or the dark igneous rocks, down river and among the weathered materials, if you are looking for diamonds you have to head to a place which has history as diamonds been found there... however the purple quartz (Amethyst) is a nice stone valuable and some people believe it has healing properties to adjust the body electrical pulses and prevent the Epileptic seizures.
I know this. Read description
Interesting stuff there....
Thanks! We both really love a few days at a mine. A great, affordable way to let off some steam :)
@@OakKnobFarm I agree and get that from nugget hunting, doesn't remind me of anything lol
you are so lucky
Love the quartz, If you ever want to trade for Oregon rocks, thundereggs, jasper, polkadot agate, let me know.

Poxa ! Que incrível a natureza 👏👏👏
you have a pattern? or something how you look at the stone? etc.
to know that a stone had a pocket inside?
im sooooo curious bout that 😀😀
It's actually really hard to tell where a pocket is located, unless you're following a vein of some sort. Here I'm more looking for easy places to remove large amounts of stone quickly/easily to maximize my chance of finding one. So I'll typically work the existing cracks if possible.
I though diamonds live under lava level so deep
wrong, you need to have an iron pickaxe
amazing
Bom trabalho irmão parabéns
Can you cast a sword using diamonds?
Not really sure, actually. It would look cool I bet
Oak Knob Farm Can you cast a sword using obsidian?
I did actually see a video showing that. It was incredibly difficult and the resulting sword was very fragile. The guy had a hard time keeping the obsidian flowing if I remember correctly

Oak Knob Farm um abrasso garipo
It's as same as easy with gold aswell as with diamonds! You just walk by and pick them up...live of the land @t in this world
This is how they mine in real life, took an hour.. But minecraft? Took an second.
That diamond is costly? How much price in the market?

How did diamonds made because they are natural resources
Ok this is just cool as hell! I hunt agates and quartz on the beach near my house every day in the summer. Ppl ask all the time y i bother and i always answer cuz they're pretty lol some ppl get it some dont
We love it too! Thanks for visiting
it seems like quartz
You're correct. "Herkimer Diamond" is a nickname for the crystals from this area of New York. They're unusually clear, and many have double terminations
@SOUTHERN PATRIOT They have a moderate value if they're complete crystals and if they are very clear
Where quartz exists can there also be gold veins.
@@Harvard.Unofficial Very true! Quartz is often an indicator for gold
It is the hardest ever quartz
Diamond good

That's millions of dollars right there.
Beautiful quartz.
Ola, me inscrevi no seu canal, um grande abraço.
Lovely! It is niceto see gems being mined without exploitation, and they are right here in our own backyard, so to speak. Prithee, why are they being farmed out to China for cutting and polishing? Is it because of cheap labour? Just curious. At any rate, I have purchased a complete set of Herkimer and it is the perfect jewellery to wear when I don't have to orry about being robbed. I love it! Keep up the good works Sir.
Thanks for the lovely comment. We definitely have some lovely crystals to find here in the USA
I do believe the cutting / faceting is done overseas mostly because of labor costs.

Are this is real diamond?
It is a quartz crystal. 'diamond' is a nickname for stones from this area because of their unusual clarity
I got a stone.. Inside of it a another stone situated
That is a good description. A beautiful stone within a normal stone.
Ohh really hardworking 😰😱
