Additional information:
I changed the name of the topic from "Favourite Sphalerite localities" to "Favourite Sphalerites". So everyone can feel free not only to discuss his/her favourite localities but also which colours and forms of that mineral he/she likes the most, e.g. simple or complex crystal forms, darker or brighter colours, gemmy or not etc. ...

This is my favorite Sphalerite; nice transparant Crystals of green Sphalerite on quartz and some small Galena Crystals.
Göllner adit, Štiavnické Bane, Banská Štiavnica Co., Banská Bystrica Region, Slovakia.
The specimen is about 7 * 5 cm and individual Crystals measure up to 1 cm.
I bought the specimen a couple of years ago from a befriended collector.

| Looks very nice, Mathias, I like those sphalerites, they are similar to those from Madan/Bulgaria. I would like to see an overall photo of the specimen ...
