Sphene (Titanite) 0.57 CT | Oval Cut Transparent Madagascar
This 0.57 carat sphene shows a fresh yellow green color with a smooth, bright face. The oval is well balanced with precise facet junctions and a bright table that keeps the tone even in daylight and indoor light. Transparency is high for the variety and the luster is crisp. Subtle internal textures are visible under the table and act as a natural fingerprint while the overall appearance remains clear and lively. Strong dispersion is evident, producing sharp spectral flashes when the stone is moved under light.
Titanite from Madagascar is mined in small volumes with clean yellow to yellow green color are scarce. The species is prized for high refractive index, dispersion stronger than diamond, and marked birefringence that contributes to its vivid look. Many crystals from these deposits are too dark or too included for fine cutting, which keeps well made gems near half a carat in short supply. This stone shows the bright color and optical performance that define desirable Malagasy sphene.
Fully certified for authenticity and quality, comes with a sensory experience that you won't forget. Don't miss your chance to own this stunning piece of earth wonder.
