These were new at Sainte Marie 2022. Twinned Sphalerite crystals, more isolated than usual, sharp and with very well-defined faces and edges, between translucent and transparent, lustrous and intense red with yellow tones. On matrix, with small white Calcite crystals and they somewhat resemble those from Áliva in color, although their crystallography is different. Extremely perfect without the slightest damage or abrasion. It was an occasional discovery from which nothing further has been heard, and no specimens like these are seen anymore.

TVA94CD4: Sphalerite with Dolomite

Group of perfectly sharp and profiled Sphalerite crystals with complex crystallography and twinning, with the characteristic honeyed color, transparent, implanted on a rock matrix, on very sharp snow-white Dolomite crystals. The specimen comes from a classic Spanish mine for Sphalerite, located in a spectacular landscape next to the Picos de Europa National Park, and it has been inaccessible for many years due to the galleries being flooded. From the collection of Andrés Jiménez Shelly who bought it years ago from Jordi Fabre.

TAL70CDD: Sphalerite with Dolomite

Áliva sphalerites are globally renowned for two things: their transparency/color and crystal size. In this case, the crystal size is undeniable, and although its thickness makes the transparency less visible, it boasts well-defined polycrystalline growth, a rarity in these pieces. Damage-free with some matrix at the base.
