A dramatic display of mineral fire and crystalline precision. This 157g specimen of 'Ruby Jack' Sphalerite originates from the Huxingshan Au-Pb-Zn Mine, a locality celebrated for producing some of the most vibrant ore minerals in the world. We selected this piece for its exceptional color saturation, a rich, blood-orange to ruby-red hue that glows with internal intensity. The crystals exhibit a razor-sharp, multifaceted geometry, ranging from classic tetrahedrons to complex dodecahedrons. With a sub-metallic to adamantine luster that rivals the brilliance of a gemstone, this specimen serves as a high-contrast anchor for any advanced systematic or locality-based collection.
