Sphene (Titanite) 0.69 CT | Round Cut Transparent Madagascar
A fresh lemon yellow fills this 0.69 carat sphene. The round brilliant shows an even outline, bright table, and clean meet points. The body is translucent with tiny crystals and wisps that create a soft internal texture while the face remains lively. Luster is vitreous and the gem shows crisp spectral flashes under a lamp, a clear display of sphene’s strong dispersion and noticeable birefringence.
This stone comes from Madagascar’s central highlands where titanite occurs in metamorphic terrains worked by small artisanal miners. Output is modest and irregular, and much rough is too included or leans brown, so attractive yellow material is limited. Pieces near three quarters of a carat that combine appealing color with a readable inclusion scene are uncommon and valued for the clear link to origin.
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.
