About this specimen

Dimensions: 5.0 × 5.0 × 4.0 cm (1.97 × 1.97 × 1.57 in); longest edge 50 mm (1.97 in).

Small orange sphalerite crystals punctuate a pale, finely textured matrix from Shuikoushan, Hunan. The crystals are scattered rather than crowded, so each warm amber face stands out clearly against the light host rock. Several close views reveal bright luster and subtle color variation from honey orange to reddish brown. The specimen measures approximately 5 × 5 × 4 cm and includes an acrylic base, giving the understated matrix an elevated cabinet presentation.

Estimated weight: 94 g / 3.32 oz, calculated from the measured bounding volume.
