Real diamonds are found in kimberlite, not Herkimer diamonds. Those are found in a dolomite matrix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the whitish looking rocks you can check for calcite. Put some warm vinegar on them and watch for slow fizzing after a few minutes. If it doesn't fizz it's probably a type of quartz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
