When iron content is high it is an opaque black variety, marmatite. It is usually found in association with galena, pyrite, and other sulfides along with calcite, dolomite, and fluorite...

Sphalerite or blende, is the main ore of zinc. Sphalerite is associated with galena, pyrite, marcasite, chalcopyrite, calcite. Sphalerite is formed mainly in hydrothermal veins and as a replacement deposit in limestones and in veins in igneous rocks. It has the formulae (Zn,Fe)S and a relative hardness of 4.
