Experience the cosmic beauty of our “It’s Raining Diamonds on Saturn” earrings, featuring stunning Herkimer diamonds with unique anthraxolite inclusions. Each pair is one-of-a-kind, with slight variations in size, color, and inclusion patterns. I carefully graduate the stones by size and hue, ensuring that the larger top crystals display richer inclusions and darker shades for a truly dynamic look.

About the Name:

According to scientists, the immense pressure on Saturn could potentially transform soot from the planet’s atmosphere into diamonds by the time it reaches the surface. This fascinating concept was featured in a documentary about the Solar System on NOVA.

While Herkimer diamonds aren’t true diamonds, they are double-terminated quartz crystals that form in pockets of air deep within rock. First discovered in Herkimer, New York, these crystals can be found in local mines, where you can try your luck at unearthing your own Herkimer diamonds.

Anthraxolite, the intriguing black mineral found as inclusions in quartz, originates from organic material trapped within the crystal for millions of years. I like to think of these Herkimer diamonds with anthraxolite inclusions as miniature geological terrariums, capturing the essence of nature’s artistry.
