OKD-655 front

Back

OKD-655   Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  6 cm scepter with big rider crystal.  Badly damaged and repaired so there is only a frontal view which, however is very attractive.  Floater.  Main cap was shattered and a piece is missing.  Again, the front view is fine as can be seen from the photo so someone can pick up a deal here.  Quite large at 7 x 4.5 x 3.5 cm overall.  Great price....140$

 

 

 

 

OKD-657

OKD-657   Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  A beautiful pair of scepters which have been reattached.  One crystal has a small chip to its stem and back edge, otherwise a damage free floater.  Excellent deep black stems.  Internal skeletal form.  This fine grouping measures almost 8 cm wide with the largest crystal being 5.5 cm wide.  Highly uncommon, aesthetic piece.  I've never seen one quite like this beauty.  950$

OKD-659   Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  Here is a 4 cm long cutie with classic form.  Dark stem has matrix contact near basil termination and a tiny crystal contact on the cap.  Very nice specimen for the price of   150$

 

 

 

 

 

OKD-662

OKD-662   Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  A pair of scepters in a crossing pattern.  They measure 6 x 5 x 3.5 cm as a specimen.  Minor matrix contact on one stem on back of piece.  No damage but a small attachment crystal is broken off.  This shows up clearly in first photo on the top of the right hand crystal.  Slightly skeletal and slightly smoky.  Very attractive, large specimen.  Great piece for the collector needing a fine Treasure Mountain specimen.  550$

OKD-807

OKD-807    Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  Here is a fine classic scepter with a short deep black stem.  It measures 2.9 cm and has a very clear cap which is slightly skeletal on most of its faces.  A fine damage free example.  100$

 

 

 

 

 

OKD-808

OKD-808    Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  Here is a fine classic scepter with a short deep black stem.  It measures 2.8 cm and has a very clear cap which is mirror smooth on most of its faces.  There is a small blowout on one face.  60$

 

 

 

 

 

OKD-809

OKD-809    Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  This huge scepter is impressive but has several minor issues.  Most are noticeable with magnification and not distracting to the eye…one small blowout, a tiny tip ding and a small chip where there was once another crystal penetrating the large cap.  All this considered this is still a major piece with lots of great qualities…7.5 cm in length, interesting skeletal form and so on.  The specimen would command 1,000$ without the minor issues.  As is I’ll accept   325$

 

 

 

 

 

OKD-810

OKD-810    Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  This fine piece is nothing short of perfect.  Nice form, mostly clear cap, very minor skeletal form on a couple of faces and a jet black stem.  3.1 cm overall.  A great specimen for those looking for perfection.  190$

 

 

 

 

 

OKD-811

OKD-811    Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  At 3.4 cm this piece is an average scepter and it exhibits typical classic form.  It is a nice piece with a very tiny tip ding visible only from the back.  The cap is quite clear and exceptionally smooth.  170$

OKD-813

OKD-813    Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  This large piece is a highly atypical Herk scepter.  It is highly skeletal and rather tabular.  The stem is obvious and deep black.  This piece is a floater with no damage except for a tiny tip ding which will be noticed under close inspection.  The main crystal looks like a highly overgrown rider.  The piece measures 5.8 x 4.8 x 2.5 cm.  A great piece!  500$

 

 

 

 

 

OKD-814

OKD-814    Herkimer Diamond Scepter   Treasure Mountain Mine, Little Falls, New York.  Another floater which is double terminated and classic in form.  Tiny tip ding but otherwise fine.  Unusual how the cap tapers down to the base.  4.5 cm in length.  200$
