Full Fire 1.20CT Natural Sphene (Titanite)

Dimension : 6.36x5.80x3.80mm

Sphene, also known as titanite, is a rare and brilliant gemstone prized for its exceptional fire and high dispersion, which can exceed that of a diamond. It is a calcium titanium silicate mineral with traces of iron and aluminum, often found in shades of green, yellow, brown, and sometimes reddish hues. Some sphene stones exhibit pleochroism, meaning they can display multiple colors when viewed from different angles.

Key properties of sphene:

• Hardness: 5–5.5 on the Mohs scale (relatively soft, requiring careful handling)

• Refractive Index: 1.84–2.11 (contributes to its brilliance and fire)

• Luster: Adamantine to resinous

• Transparency: Transparent to translucent

• Occurrence: Found in locations such as Brazil, Madagascar, Mexico, Canada, and Pakistan

Because of its relatively low hardness, sphene is best suited for earrings, pendants, and collector’s items rather than everyday rings. Its stunning dispersion and unique optical properties make it a desirable gem for those who appreciate rare and unusual stones.
