Sphalerite

Item Description

Some of the best color Sphalerite in the world comes from Spain. I am always amazed at this material, because it is one of the few transparent sulfides in the world. This stone is a very unique piece and will probably end up being a great bargain for one of you lucky bidders. This stone has great dispersion, color, size and cutting. The color of the stone is a mix of rich gold, orange and red hues. There are very very slight inclusions, but honestly, it is very hard to obtain totally eye clean stones of this material, especially in a stone this size! The cut on the stone is called a "Quantum Concave Round Brilliant" cut and it just bounces light all over when this stone is rotated in the light. Make sure to take advantage of this opportunity to own a good sized, beautiful rare collector stone. This gem would is valued at $873.75 high retail. Enjoy!
