Sphalerite function and meaning

Sphalerite is traditionally associated with willpower, grounding, and inner balance.

The stone is often associated with supporting self-confidence and strengthening personal power. Many also use sphalerite to experience more focus and stability.

Sphalerite (blende or zinc blende)

Sphalerite, also known as blende or zinc blende, is a mineral that derives its name from the Greek word sphaleros, meaning 'deceitful'. This is because the mineral was often confused with galena (lead glance) in the past, even though it contains no lead.

Important locations include the United States (Elmwood), South Africa, and Russia.

In a spiritual context, sphalerite is often associated with the root chakra and the solar plexus chakra, and is also linked to the zodiac sign Gemini.
