Diamond

An Introduction to Diamond

Diamonds are one of the 4 precious gemstones, along with Sapphire, Emerald and Ruby. These gemstones are traditionally considered the most valuable and sought after in the world. This perceptions has shifted some in recent years, as other rare gemstones have gained popularity, and as brides choose non-traditional color palettes for their engagement rings.

Diamonds symbolize clarity, purity, and illumination, harmonizing the body with divine light and energy at the crown chakra and encouraging a state of divine consciousness and enlightenment.

Diamond facets reflect and refract all 7 color-spectrum rays, creating both their beauty and their respect as a healing entity.

The Buddha described reaching a state of illumination as 'diamond mind' because of diamond’s representation of the highest expression of white light and universal light.

Diamonds are often substituted with Danburite, although a closer “healing properties” substitute might be Clear Quartz. In jewelry Herkimer Diamonds are a popular, less expensive, replacement. These gemstones are not actually diamonds, but are six sided, double terminated quartz, found specifically in Herkimer, New York.

What is Herkimer Diamond?

Herkimer Diamonds are not true Diamonds but are doubly terminated Quartz crystals first discovered, and primarily sourced, in Herkimer County, New York.
