It has a high dispersion, giving well-cut gems a brilliant fire, though its relative softness (Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4) makes it less suitable for everyday jewelry. Sphalerite is primarily found in hydrothermal veins and sedimentary deposits, with major sources including Spain, Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Bulgaria. Its distinct resinous to adamantine luster and high refractive index make it a desirable collector’s gemstone.\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif; color: #212b36;\"\u003e*Price is per individual piece unless noted.
