Chrome sphene is a rare and valuable variety of the mineral sphene , prized by gem collectors.

Its most defining feature is a vibrant emerald-green to apple-green color, which is caused by the presence of chromium (hence the name "chrome" sphene). This distinguishes it from the more common yellowish-green or brown sphene, which is colored by iron.

Like all sphene, it has an exceptionally high dispersion (the ability to split light into spectral colors). This results in a brilliant "fire" or rainbow-like flashes of color that can rival that of a diamond.

It has a distinctive, sub-adamantine (almost diamond-like) to resinous luster, giving it a brilliant shine
