About the stone

What is Sphalerite?

Sphalerite is zinc sulphide, the main ore of zinc. It ranges from honey-yellow to red and black, with a bright resinous to adamantine shine.

It occurs with galena in Rajasthan's lead-zinc mines.

Care & cleaning

A softer stone — wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh chemicals and knocks, and store separately from harder crystals.
