0.89 CARAT NATURAL SPARK SPHENE

 Sphene is also known as "titanite" due to its titanium content. They are yellow, orange, brown or green gems with many gradations between those colors. The usual colors are created by iron and rare-earth element impurities. Sphene is found primarily in Madagascar, Mexico, Canada and, historically, in Austria. Although reasonably available in the marketplace, it is virtually unknown to the general public.

    Several gemological characteristics make it beautiful and desirable as a collector's stone or, with care, for jewelry use. Its dispersion, (fire,) is one of the highest of all gem materials and is higher than diamond.
