Sphene, also known as titanite, is a calcium titanium silicate mineral with the chemical formula CaTiSiO5. It’s prized for its stunning fire (dispersion)—even higher than diamond—and its birefringence, which gives it a unique brilliance and sparkle.
Quick Facts:
Color: Typically yellow, green, brown, or reddish; can also be colorless
Hardness: 5–5.5 on the Mohs scale (so it’s relatively soft)
Luster: Adamantine to resinous
Crystal system: Monoclinic
Common localities: Madagascar, Pakistan, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Austria
Why it’s special:
Sphene is a favorite among collectors and gem enthusiasts because of its vibrant fire and unique look, but it’s not often used in mainstream jewelry due to its softness. When faceted well, it can look dazzling, especially in good lighting.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
