  In-game model of Sphalerite

Where to find

The Sphalerite can be found lying on the ground waiting to be picked up.

The Sphalerite can sometimes be found under Liftable Rocks.

Locations

In the game, there are multiple locations where you can find the Sphalerite.

• One can be found on the top of the large rock tower found at the The Beach Tower.
• At the Shallow Hideout Oasis is a rocky outcrop - on top of that.
• In the Sand Garden Oasis there are a number of rock stacks. It can be found on the highest one in the area. However, a pack of Miocene African Otters guard the base of the rock stack and at the top a Miocene Pelican is waiting to swoop down on you.

How to obtain

The Sphalerite can be grabbed from the ground.

How to use

Benefits of precious stones

The Sphalerite can be used to butcher animals.

The Sphalerite can be used as a blunt weapon. While not as effective as a Sharpened Stick, they can still be useful.

Giving a Sphalerite to an unrelated clan member will form a couple instantly without the manual grooming and bonding process.

Giving a Sphalerite to a hominid that isn't part of the clan will befriend them and they will join your clan.

Holding a Spahlerite will confer Fear Protection. Setting down the Sphalerite stops this positive status effect but picking the Sphalerite back up will immediately start the protection again. However, this isn't an unlimited protection. Eventually the specific Sphalerite will run out of protection and a new one will have to be found to get the protection again.

Finding and inspecting the Sphalerite will complete one of the Spiritual Inception Evolution Feats.
