Has anyone worked the Payson [Az] diamonds? They're also quartz and similar to Herkimers .
I have Rod. I don't think they are as attractive as the Herkimer quartz but that's all in the eye of the beholder.
There are thousands of locations with pretty quartz crystals. It is one of the most common stones on earth. Which ones you choose to dig are a matter of individual preference.
In Arizona you might find the Burro creek deposits interesting, Citrine and Amethyst varieties are found there as well as phantoms and scepter forms.
My favorite quartz crystal finds in Arizona are the triple included crystals found at Childs Hot Springs.
