Sphene, also known as titanite, is a brilliant and colorful gemstone prized for its exceptional fire—the dispersion of light into a rainbow of colors, often surpassing that of diamond. Here's a brief description:
Sphene (Titanite) Overview
Color: Most commonly green, but also occurs in yellow, brown, reddish, or even black. Vivid green and yellow-green stones are the most valued.
Luster: Adamantine to sub-adamantine (very shiny and sparkly)
Hardness: 5–5.5 on the Mohs scale
Crystal System: Monoclinic
Refractive Index: 1.84–2.10 (high, contributing to its brilliance)
Dispersion: 0.051 (very high; more fire than diamond)
Transparency: Transparent to translucent
Composition: CaTiSiO5 (calcium titanium silicate)
Notable Characteristics
Fire & Brilliance: Due to its high dispersion and refractive index, sphene displays spectacular fire.
Birefringence: Strong double refraction causes a slightly "blurry" look when viewed under magnification.
Rarity: Sphene is relatively rare in gem quality, making it a collector's stone.
Care
Because of its relatively low hardness, sphene is best suited for pendants, earrings, or collector pieces rather than rings worn daily. Avoid harsh knocks or abrasive cleaning.

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.
