The Herkimer diamond is actually a unique form of quartz, known for its clarity and double terminated points. Originally found in Herkimer county in New York, this prized quartz is believed to date back to the Cambrian period, approximately 500 million years ago. Herkimer can be perfectly clear, or included with various minerals, giving them a `salt and pepper’ look.
Spiritually, Herkimer quartz is thought to promote spiritual and physical healing, detoxifying the body’s chakras.
My little Rosehips can now be your own tiny talisman, bringing you all of Herkimer's purifying and healing qualities.

I would be delighted if you wanted to wear my jewellery everyday, but please be aware that you will be able to enjoy your handpainted pieces longer if they are not worn on a day to day basis.
