Spanish Sphalerite Faceting Rough 177ct Light yellowish orange color zoning

Very clear with some pinpoints visible to naked eye. Some veils in the borders which are easy to avoid for faceting. Light yellowish orange with color zoning. Large museum quality eye-clear stone with fantastic dispersion and interesting color distribution.  If your preference is to hide the color zoning, the rough shape in this case allows to choose orientation for faceting.
Unheated/Untreated
Aliva mine Cantabria Spain
Gem sphalerite is the most outstanding Spanish gem material. Aliva mine produced the world best and largest transparent toffee-colored sphalerites, well known worldwide by collectors of rare gems and minerals.
The Aliva mine was closed in 1989 thus all the rough and faceted Spanish sphalerites existing in the market come from material extracted many years ago and stored for decades by mineral dealers.
