Description from the seller

Las Manforas is arguably the world's most famous locality for sphalerite. It has produced some of the most colorful (and often multicolored) gem-quality crystallized sphalerite ever seen. This particular specimen is a lustrous crystal with yellow, orange, and red tones running along the crystal that blend in a very aesthetic way.
