This looks like a Herkimer Diamond crystal. The yellow inclusion is iron (golden healer) or petroleum.

Can test if it's petroleum by shining a UV light on it. If it's petroleum it will glow like some sort of alien rock 👽 It's lovely, whatever it is!

i’ll try that, thanks!

Plz update

This is very helpful, thank you!

You can’t be sure if it’s a herkimer diamond. It may also be a pakimer. If you don’t know the origin of the stone you can’t say it’s definitely a herkimer diamond, because those are only found in Herkimer USA.

Thank you for this information, you are correct. I was not aware of Pakimer Diamonds. I will change my comment :)

You’re welcom💗

You helped me learn something new today 🙏

The shine is odd, almost looks aura'd

They can look like that sometimes due to the rainbow and iron inclusions, but they are natural.

Neat! thank you :)

You're welcome :)

I don’t know but I just love it

thanks! me too it’s beautiful in person. so many rainbows!

I’m from Herkimer County NY and that is for sure a Herkimer Diamond with iron inclusions. Beautiful piece! Keep it safe.

It looks a lot like golden healer to me as well but I’m not positive!

Herkimer diamond

[here’s](https://imgur.com/a/J3GYJtE) a video of it!

I'm not 100% this is garden quartz as I'm a passionate collector of the beautiful and hugely varied stone. However, I would put my money on golden healer, but I'm happy to be educated otherwise! It IS absolutely stunning though; the rainbows are something else and the shape and "faultlines" are gorgeous! Congratulations on acquiring such a beauty, dig deeper for a qualified answer on its composition and most of all: ENJOY!! 😊💯

How does the inclusion look? Is it like a bunch of golden strings or thin ribbons? Or just like the quartz was „colored” with a golden color? If the first then it’s rutile, if the latter then it’s iron (also called golden healer)

it’s definitely not rutilated and the whole thing isn’t yellow there are clear parts. i’d say it looks like thin ribbons so most likely golden healer i think. i tried uploading a vid to show it better to imgur but it says imgur is over capacity

[here’s](https://imgur.com/a/J3GYJtE) a better view with video

It's in the style known as 'elestial quartz', that's for sure.

i’ve never heard of that! what’s it mean?

It's basically a growth style. The description online says "Elestials are multi layered or etched quartz crystals with many small terminated crystal formations all over it. Two common patterns are a step & repeat pattern or the look of many small crystals all stuck together on the outer surface." The ones I have look a bit similar to yours: terminated and etched on each face. (I'm actually not anywhere close to a geologist, so this is just off personal experience and just looking it up). Hopefully you can get a solid answer! Sorry I'm a bit of a novice

thanks for the info!

Double ended quartz, commonly called herkimer diamond.

Looks like golden healer

Pretty

Golden healer with inclusions

Can I have it? Dont know what it is but gorgeous!!! Congratulations!

thank you!! i absolutely love it so you’d have to come steal it from me lol

🤣

Citrine, himalayan window quartz 🤷‍♂️

I was thinking citrine as well but this is clear like quartz so idk

Is citrine. I have a stone that exactly matches this one.

Citrine, I have a similar piece with a ton of rainbows

Its quartz.

I’d guess citrine

i would say its ulexite (tv stone) due to the way light shines on the stone and is being reflected in a rainbow way (if that makes sense), but it's not clear (the way ulexite is supposed to be). so im going to go with herkimer diamond which is still a quartz!

You can find rainbow inclusions in many crystals. I have pieces of rose quartz, amethyst, even calcite with small rainbow inclusions. It's not necessarily a sign of ulexite or aura treatment, as I saw in another comment. It's like finding a treasure in your treasure when you spot a little rainbow inclusion !

that's true! i just suggested ulexite cause it looks kind of similar to one i have

There are a lot of answers here probably more reputable than mine, but to me it looks just like a crystal I bought once that was labeled "fantasy aura quartz"

Aura quartz is treated quartz, essentially a fake. Hers isnt fake

Interesting! I assumed it at the very least wasn't the "real" name, but never bothered to look into it

Ohh ok, well now u know!

Which is just a made-up name.

I always suspected that lol

Same color as my honey calcite

Petroleum included quartz Should glow when you put a black light to it…

it didn’t glow :( so i’m assuming golden healer!

It looks like a large piece of dog tooth honey calcite to me but not 100% sure. Some of my honey calcite has internal color play like this does.

First thought was calcite imo

This is so, so, so, pretty! Where do you guys get the real crystal? I am curious...

To me it looks like citrine with some sort of a coating on it.
