Sphalerite

Aliva is perhaps the best locality in the world for sizable high quality sphalerite crystals. This particular piece is a vibrant orange that glows when backlit. The front display face is lustrous and well terminated. This is a very sizable specimen and contains quite a bit of gem rough.
