AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Exclusive sphalerite (blende) from a collection, characterized by an exceptional carat weight of 14.59 ct and incredible brilliance. The sphalerite possesses a light dispersion (fire) about four times higher than that of diamond, and this specimen fully showcases its potential due to its vivid orange-yellow color and perfect transparency.
Originating from the famous deposits of Spain, globally known for producing the best crystals in the world, this gem represents a true rarity because of its size: surpassing 10 carats while maintaining this purity is extremely difficult due to the mineral's extreme fragility during faceting.
The lot is accompanied by the prestigious official certificate of the Spanish Gemological Institute (IGE), verifiable online.
