Sphalerite derives its name from the Greek word "sphaleros," meaning "traitor." This name alludes to the ease with which this dark-colored stone was mistaken for galena (a mineral with a high lead content).
The Germans also call it "Zinkblende", "blende" meaning "blind" or "deceiver".
Sphalerite can be found in shades of yellow, reddish, greenish or even translucent.
Gem-quality sphalerite is found only in the Chivera mines in Mexico or in the Spanish massif "Picos de Europa".
Sphalerite is a crystallization of zinc sulfide (ZnS) exhibiting a slight deficiency in Zinc (Zn1-xS).
Despite its amazing optical effects, Sphalerite is a little-known and very rare stone.
