Sphene (Titanite) 0.60 CT | Oval Cut Translucent Madagascar
This companion 0.56 carat oval presents a livelier neon yellow green that swings toward lime, with flashes that burst readily even in modest light. The oval profile is compact and elegant, with a slightly higher crown that feeds dispersion through a well proportioned pavilion. Facets are keen and reflective, sending sharp sparkles amid a silky internal pattern that hints at faint needles and minute crystal wisps. The stone remains distinctly translucent, and the play of light across the surface produces bright bands that make the gem appear larger than its weight suggests. Overall impression: spirited color, crisp brilliance, and an engaging personality.
Madagascar titanite is celebrated for clean cutting material with energetic fire, and Gem B carries that legacy. The species is calcium titanium silicate with the formula CaTiSiO5, colored by iron with subtle rare earth influences that encourage the zesty green. Its optical performance is exceptional for the size because sphene combines high refractive index with strong birefringence. As with all titanite, daily wear calls for a considered design due to its moderate hardness and perfect cleavage direction.
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.
