ULTRA RARE STUNNING FIREBALL SPHALERITE, HUANGGANGLIANG MINE, INNER MONGOLIA

Description

A stunning rare newly discovered Fireball Sphalerite and Quartz on Matrix from the Huanggangliang Mine in Chefeng City, Inner Mongolia. This ranks up there as some of the finest Sphalerite on record and was unearthed in the early part of 2018. It is rare to find color like this in a Sphalerite anywhere in the world. Not many of these high quality Sphalerites have been found and this is the only one I have. This is in fact by far the nicest one I have seen from the find. The Sphalerite is aesthetically positioned for a perfect central focal point. The buildup creates a good amount of isolation for both the Sphalerite and the Quartz allowing both minerals to be viewed in all of their magnificence. The Sphalerite itself is fully terminated and damage free. It is completely gemmy with good luster and top color saturation. When the light hits it this piece lights up like a fireball. The colorations look like the German Flag.
Approximately 4.5 cm x 3.0 cm x 1.5 cm
