Introduction sphalerite is one of the commonest sulphides occurring in a wide range of hydrothermal mineral deposits formed in various geological settings It is best known however from two types of ore deposits firstly Mississippi Valley type MVT vein associations and secondly stratiform carbonate hosted synsedimentary massive sulphide deposits of the type worked in the Irish Midlands

Is sphalerite a gem Since sphalerite is a relatively soft stone with a hardness of only to 4 on the Mohs scale it is not suitable for rings It can be used in pendants if set carefully But it is mainly a gem for the collector Sphalerite is the chief ore of zinc and gem quality specimens are sometimes found in zinc mines
