No Herkimer diamonds are only found in Herkimer New York.

Ok then what kind of quartz is this stone. Also what are those brown and yellow colors. Also if you look closely there are rainbow colors at two places.
Can somebody explain this?
 
Also there is some fossilized black substance inside the quartz
 
I am no expert in stones.. but i do know quartz and many others very well.
This is a prime example of what diamond looks like in that region.
India has them.
"until the discovery of diamonds in South Africa in 1896, India was the only place where diamonds were mined. India has not been a major diamond-producing country since the 1900s"

So... might wanna get that checked... BUT be careful on WHO checks it... WHO you show it to etc.
Do tests on it yourself and then if still unsure take it to a reputable diamond dealer ONLY.
