As Sphalerites go, Bulgarian stones are always in demand. Though fames for the greens, the other colors produced are no less distinct. This dark reddish-brown gem would not be mistaken for a Spanish or Canadian gem to be sure. The dark tone looks quite nice here - the brilliance of the gem is not masked and the luster looks great. The cutter here was a virtuoso - look at those points on a gem with hardness! Superb job indeed.
