History and Uses

The word Lapis Lazuli comes from the Latin words lapis for stone and lazulum derived from the Persian word lazaward the name of a place where it was mined. The word azure for blue in many languages derives its name from this stone.

Lapis Lazuli has been mined in the Sar-i- Sang mine in Afghanistan for over 6000 years. It is a semi precious stone which was highly prized by many ancient cultures including the Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians,Egyptians, Harrapans, Greeks and Romans.

It has been found fashioned into amulets, beads, knife handles, statues and inlaid in bowls which are thousands of years old. Powdered Lapis Lazluli was used as eye makeup by the ancient Egyptians and was made into the very expensive and sought-after ultramarine blue paint used by the masters in Renaissance Europe.

Catherine the Great used Lapis Lazuli to decorate the St Petersberg palace with 2 metre tall urns carved from solid Lapis.

History and Uses

Herkimer Diamonds are not actual diamonds but are double-terminated quartz crystals. They were named “Herkimer Diamonds” because of their exceptional clarity and resemblance to diamonds. They are found exclusively in Herkimer County, New York, USA, and were formed around 500 million years ago in pockets of dolomite rock.

Indigenous and Historical Significance: Herkimer Diamonds have a long history of significance among indigenous cultures in the area. Native American tribes considered them sacred and used them in spiritual ceremonies and healing practices.

Geological Description

Herkimer Diamonds are formed within cavities or vugs in dolostone or limestone. These cavities are often found in the Mohawk River Valley region of Herkimer County, New York, where they were first discovered. The formation process is attributed to hydrothermal activity.

Herkimer Diamonds are double-terminated quartz crystals, meaning they have naturally formed points on both ends. This unique feature distinguishes them from most other quartz crystals, which typically have a single pointed termination. They exhibit a hexagonal crystal system and belong to the quartz mineral group. They have a silicon dioxide (SiO2) chemical composition, just like other quartz crystals.
