Fine matrix specimen of sphalerite from Slovakia, featuring lustrous crystals in a bright white matrix. The crystals exhibit an intense deep golden-orange coloration, with variations from lighter to darker tones. The vivid contrast makes this piece especially eye-catching. Specimens like this are reminiscent of the rich polymetallic ore deposits historically mined in regions such as Banská Štiavnica, a classic Slovak locality known for its centuries-long tradition of silver and base metal extraction.
