Comment: Some of the best color Sphalerite in the world comes from Spain. 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 a great mix of gold, orange and slight green tones to create a very attractive gem. The stone has some obvious inclusions, but it is very hard to obtain totally eye clean stones of this material. The cut on the stone is a "Shield" cut. Make sure to take advantage of this opportunity to own a beautiful, bright, rare collector stone with a unique color combination.
Minerals: Sphalerite ((Zn,Fe)S)
