Sphalerite from Walworth Quarry, New York, USA

A highly attractive sphalerite specimen from the classic Walworth Quarry locality in Wayne County, New York.

The specimen is dominated by a dense cluster of well-developed, translucent sphalerite crystals displaying a spectacular range of colors from deep reddish-orange to bright honey-yellow and amber tones. The crystals show excellent brilliance, with a strong resinous to almost adamantine luster, particularly striking under direct illumination.

Several prominent crystals exhibit sharp, complex faces and stepped growth patterns, creating an attractive three-dimensional architecture across the specimen. The combination of intense warm coloration, transparency along the crystal edges and highly reflective surfaces gives the piece exceptional visual impact.

A very aesthetic and colorful example of sphalerite from this well-known New York locality, particularly suitable for a systematic USA collection or an advanced display collection.
