Sphene (Titanite) 0.70 CT | Round Cut Transparent Madagascar
This 0.70 carat sphene presents a bright yellow green that holds its tone in daylight and indoor light. The round brilliant is precisely cut with a clear open table and balanced scintillation. Transparency is high for the variety and the face reads clean and bright with a crisp vitreous luster. Under focused light the gem delivers strong rainbow fire, a hallmark of titanite’s high dispersion, and slight doubling of facet edges can be seen at certain angles.
Madagascar is an important modern source of titanite, though production remains small and sporadic. Facetable crystals showing a pure yellow to yellow green without a brown cast are scarce, and well made rounds around this size are produced in limited numbers. Collectors prize such stones for their optics and for the distinctive Malagasy pedigree.
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.
