Collection: Sphene or Titanite

Sphene is also known as titanite because it contains titanium.

The color of sphene ranges from yellow to brown. It can sometimes have a more or less marked green tint.

Sphene is characterized by a very strong dispersion of light (greater than that of diamond), which creates spectacular lights. Depending on how it is cut, it can be so impressive that it looks like a fake stone.

Its high birefringence results in strong image doubling, similar to other gems such as zircon and peridot and can give the stone a cloudy appearance.

There is a chrome variety of sphene that is highly sought after by collectors.
