Herkimer Diamond Mines

Attached to the Miners' Village and directly across from the KOA Resort is the World Famous Herkimer Diamond Mines. Herkimer Diamonds are beautiful, fun to find, and the whole family can dig for them. Actually quartz crystals, the stones were faceted by nature half a billion years ago. You keep everything you find, so grab your goggles and hammer and start digging for diamonds!
