Herkimer Diamonds are double terminated quartz crystals, not real diamonds, stones that were faceted by nature half a billion years ago. The unique quartz is only known to be found in the Mohawk Valley region of Upstate New York.  

Shevat will appear on HSN Wednesday night  from 8 p.m. until 9 p.m. from the resort restaurant, Miner's Table, and again Thursday evening at 10 p.m..
