Quartztopia
Quartztopia, a place located near Herkimer County New York, is a land rich in Herkimer diamonds. These 500 million year old crystals are beautifully and naturally faceted quartz crystals, which are double terminated. They have 18 facets, 2 points, and are 7.5 on the hardness scale. They are unique only to this area of New York State. Some contain black anthraxolite or beautiful rainbow-like birthmarks. These rare beauties may even contain an air or water bubble.
Quartztopia Diamonds are considered to be power stones with unique healing properties. The unique double-termination shape naturally produces high frequency energy and balancing qualities. These “magical” crystals further possess the ability to receive and amplify the characteristics of other power stones like Amethyst, Garnets, Emeralds and Druze when worn together.
By wearing a piece of jewelry made with Quartztopia Diamonds, you will receive many amazing benefits; whether you enjoy a unique one-of-kind handmade piece of art or its potential for healing and spiritual enhancement.
Cathy Weiss
Owner of Quartztopia Herkimer Diamonds.
Geologist/Miner/Jewelry Designer.
“Ever since I was a little girl, at the Age of 8, I can recall starting my very first rock collection. This passion for rocks and minerals led me to study and receive a BS in Geology. I then went on to share my knowledge by teaching High School Earth Science and continued to grow my personal collection of specimens. In 2016, after years of searching, I located and purchased 23 acres of land in the Mohawk Valley Region to create Quartztopia. My mission has been to personally extract stones from the ground, then design and make a unique piece of jewelry tailored to each diamond, which I can then share.”
