One of the rarest color (and locality!) varieties of gem Sphalerite. Though a few spots in the US do produce occasional facet rough, very little compares to the relatively recent finds of bright yellow gems at the famed Empire Mine in Balmat, New York. This dazzler is a great size - and with that wonderful, intense yellow color. Entirely clean and well cut, one of the finest we have offered certainly.
