SPHALERITE

“The Stone of Discernment, Vitality, and Grounded Intuition”

Sphalerite is a vibrant, often sparkling zinc sulfide mineral that can range in color from yellow to red, brown, black, and even green. Known for its high refractive index and brilliance, it is both visually striking and energetically dynamic. Sphalerite is prized for enhancing mental clarity, energy balance, and intuitive insight while keeping you grounded in reality.

The name "Sphalerite" comes from the Greek sphaleros, meaning "deceptive," because it can resemble other minerals like galena but doesn’t contain lead.
