Ever wonder what goes into mining Herkimer Diamonds? The material herkimers come from is called Dolomite and this is a very hard rock and one of the things that adds to the total cost of the stones. To find the right spot I like to wander around until I find a pocket layer as shown in the video, then follow that layer back looking for vugs. Vugs are small crystal cavities that can be filled with crystals, or nothing😭. Once you find a vug, you're on the right track and just need to keep at it! #
