SCANDINAVIAN MINERALS
Cystaline Sphalerite or crystals groups from around the world.
Sphalerite, also known as blende or zinc blende, is the major ore of zinc. When pure (with little or no iron) it forms clear to white crystals (known as Cleiophane).
Yellow to orange sphalerite is often called "golden sphalerite." Red shades of sphalerite are known as Ruby Blende or Ruby Jack.
As iron content increases, sphalerite forms dark, opaque submetallic crystals (known as Marmatite or Black Jack).
Very rarely, green crystals owe their colour to trace amounts of Co.
