Few gemstones are capable of displaying fire with the intensity of fine Sphalerite. When combined with strong color and expert cutting, the result is a gemstone that remains visually active from almost every angle, constantly revealing new flashes of light and color.
At 46.26 carats and measuring 22.87 x 17.22 x 11.97 mm, this cushion-cut Sphalerite from Spain displays an Orange Yellow body color accented by vivid Red Flashes. The cutting has been executed with precision to maximize the natural optical properties of the material, producing exceptional brilliance and the remarkable dispersion for which fine Sphalerite is renowned. A very mild natural feather is present, serving as a subtle reminder of the gemstone's natural origin while having minimal impact on its overall visual appeal.
Completely untreated and naturally formed, the gemstone preserves its original crystal character throughout. Large Sphalerite displaying this combination of size, color, cutting quality, and optical performance remains highly sought after by collectors.
This stone is chosen by those who see beyond the surface.
