Collection: Sphene (Titanite)

Natural sphene, also known as titanite, is a rare and desirable gemstone known for its exceptional brilliance and fire, rivaling even diamonds. Key characteristics of sphene include:

1. Color: Sphene can be found in a variety of colors, including green, yellow, brown, and occasionally red or orange.

2. Dispersion: It has a high dispersion, which means it can split light into its spectral colors, creating a vivid play of colors or "fire."

3. Brilliance: Sphene has a high refractive index, contributing to its brilliance and sparkle.

4. Birefringence :This gemstone shows strong birefringence, meaning it can split light into two rays, creating a doubling effect on the facets when viewed through a loupe.

5. Hardness: It has a Mohs hardness of 5 to 5.5, making it somewhat softer than many other gemstones and requiring careful handling and setting in jewelry.
