Sphalerite- gem variety Cleiophane (Ref: AX-27-101)
Ninth of September mine, Madan, Rhodope Mountains, Smolyan Oblast, Bulgaria
79mm x 55mm x 27mm
minID: 970-4FT
Sharp and glasslike gem Sphalerite crystals contrast with the white matrix in an esthetic combination. The Sphalerites are a dark yellow-green best seen when under strong light. The luster is brilliant. From the Madan area of Bulgaria, this zone has produced some extraordinary Sphalerites (and Galenas as well) on occasion. This piece is from a few years ago out of one incredible pocket. Far better than typical specimen with fine 3 dimensional esthetics, there is no damage at all. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
