Sphalerite (cut by Robert Heath)

Item Description

Bulgaria is probably the best active region producing gem quality Sphalerite in the world right now. Some of the best gem quality green, yellow and orange Sphalerite in the world is found in the Madan Region of Bulgaria. This particular gem is a good sized, bright green color gem with a "Modified Triangle" cut. This stone has some slight visible inclusions, but green is the most highly sought after shade for this material. The stone is not "murky", and keep in mind it is difficult to obtain a Sphalerite from Bulgaria with good green color. The stone was cut by Robert Heath in the summer of 2009.
