Item Description

Some of the best color Sphalerite in the world comes from Spain. This is one of the less common faceted gems on the market, and only very experienced cutters have the ability to produce fine gems considering the tremendous softness and brittleness of this material. This is a beautiful gem and will probably end up being a great bargain for one of you lucky bidders. This stone has great dispersion, color and excellent cutting. This stone is only very very slightly included, but it is VERY hard to obtain totally eye clean stones of this material. The color of the stone is s golden-orange hue. It has fairly good color play and dispersion considering the size. The cut on this stone is a "Round Brilliant" cut. It is a good quality Sphalerite gem from what is probably the most famous locality in the world for this material.
