Welcome to SuchenGems!
Sphene, also known as titanite, is a rare calcium titanium silicate mineral prized for its exceptional brilliance and fire, often exceeding that of diamonds, and is characterized by its wedge-shaped crystals derived from the Greek word "sphenos". It exhibits a wide range of colors, including yellow, green, brown, red, orange, pink, and black, with green and yellow-green varieties often being the most valuable due to their rarity and appeal.
Key Characteristics and Properties:
Chemical Composition:
A calcium titanium silicate (CaTiSiO5) with trace impurities of iron and aluminum, and sometimes rare earth metals.
Appearance:
Crystals are typically wedge-shaped and can be found in various colors, with a resinous to adamantine luster.
Dispersion:
Sphene has a very high dispersion (0.051), meaning it significantly refracts white light into spectral colors, creating a brilliant "fire".
Hardness:
It is relatively soft, scoring 5.0-5.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it somewhat fragile for everyday wear without careful setting.
Transparency:
Jewelry-grade sphene is transparent, though it can also occur as opaque or translucent specimens.
Trichroism/Color Change:
Some specimens can exhibit dichroism or even trichroism, displaying different colors when viewed from different angles. Rare specimens may even show color change under different lighting conditions.

Waarom overbieden gebruikers zichzelf?
Wanneer een bod wordt geplaatst, is dit het maximale bedrag dat een persoon bereid is te bieden voor het product. Ons systeem zal dan automatisch bieden namens de bieder, waarbij het bod stapsgewijs wordt verhoogd tot het maximum om hun positie als hoogste bieder te behouden.
Wanneer er een pictogram is dat 'Automatisch bod' aangeeft, betekent dit dat ons systeem actief biedingen plaatst voor de bieder op basis van hun maximale bod. Dit kan lijken alsof bieders zichzelf overbieden, maar het is gewoon een resultaat van het systeem dat het bod bijwerkt om de maximale limiet van de bieder weer te geven.
