Sphalerite and Galena on Quartz 043106

Sphalerite often contains iron and has high light refraction. In its natural form, it has a resinous lustre, with colour ranging from amber to almost black. Because of this refraction, well-cut specimens can sparkle intensely. In contemporary crystal traditions, sphalerite is symbolically associated with themes of grounding.

This specimen has a druse form, with crystals covering a shared surface. It remains in its natural, unpolished state, with visible grey and white colouring.

Each stone is natural and therefore unique. As a result, its colour, texture, and veining may differ slightly from those shown in the photographs.
