About this specimen

Hebei sphalerite at 6.9 cm and 36 g; a small cabinet piece. A thin grey plate with glossy red-brown sphalerite crystals scattered across it.

Sphalerite is zinc sulfide; iron-poor crystals are honey to red and transparent, while iron-rich ones (marmatite) go black with a resinous to adamantine lustre.

Hebei's mountain districts produce calcite, quartz and skarn minerals from small mines north of Beijing.

Dimensions place it in the small cabinet range, 3.2 × 1.2 × 6.9 cm (1.26 × 0.47 × 2.72 in) and 36 g (1.3 oz). Condition is otherwise as photographed.

Every specimen here is photographed and catalogued individually before listing.
