ALL NATURAL INCLUSIONS VISIBLE 1.0CT YELLOW GREEN SPHENE TITANITE GEMSTONE WITH BEAUTIFUL TRILLION CUT

A BEAUTIFUL 1.0 CARAT (0,20G PLEASE SEE PHOTO MULTIPLY GRAMS BY 5 TO GET CARATS) YELLOW TITANITE GEMSTONE FROM MADAGASCAR WITH A BEAUTIFUL TRILLION CUT. (A trillion cut is a triangular shape comprised of three equal sides and 31 or 50 facets). IT COMES IN A SMALL PERSPEX PRESENTATION BOX.
 
THIS PARTICULAR STONE WAS BOUGHT FROM A SELLER IN SOUTH AFRICA IN 2011 WITH THE COUNTRY OF ORIGEN INDICATED AS MADAGASCAR. IT HAS A SI (SOME INCLUSIONS EYE VISIBLE) CLARITY WHICH MEANS IT HAS SOME INCLUSIONS AS SEEN WITH THE NAKED EYE WHICH IT APPEARS TO BE. IT WAS ALSO SOLD AS A NATURAL UNTREATED GEMSTONE.
 
MY PERSONAL CONCLUSION REGARDING THIS GEMSTONE:
THIS BEAUTIFUL GEMSTONE HAS CLEAR INCLUSIONS VISIBLE. THIS IS IN MOST CASES WITH GEMSTONES A GOOD SIGN THAT A STONE IS NATURAL. LAB CREATED STONES APPEAR FLAWLESS AND ARE OFTEN MORE BEAUTIFUL WITH NO INCLUSIUONS VISIBLE.
MY CONCLUSION:  IT IS PROPABLY A NATURAL TITANITE GEMSTONE
 
NOTE THIS WEEK I HAVE 26 GEMSTONES AND A LARGE AMBER CHUNK WITH INSECTS IN IT ON AUCTION. IT WILL BE THE LAST BATCH FOR A WHILE. TAKE THIS CHANCE TO BUY THE GEMSTONES YOU LIKE. VARIOUS SAPPHIRES, SOME GARNETS AND SPINELS, TWO TANZANITES, A BLUE DIAMOND THAT PINGS THE MIZAR DIAMOND TESTER, A ONE OF A KIND BOULDER OPAL FROM AUSTRALIA, A NATURAL AMBER CUT GEMSTONE AND MORE. ALL MY AUCTIONS END AT 22H30 SO IT IS ADVISABLE TO PUT IN AN AUTOMATIC BID (HIGHEST PRICE YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY) EARLY.
 
DISCLAIMER: I AM NO GEMSTONE EXPERT AND THERE ARE NO TESTS (SCRATCH TEST; UV TEST; THERMAL TEST) THAT I COULD PERFORM ON TITANITE OR SPHENE THAT CAN CONFIRM THIS GEMSTONES NATURE AND PROPERTIES. THIS GEMSTONES BELONGED TO A FAMILY MEMBER THAT HAS PASSED AWAY. HE COLLECTED GEMSTONES DURING THE EARLY TWENTY FIRST CENTURY MANY WERE BOUGHT ON EBAY AND OTHERS BY TRAVELLING TO OTHER COUNTRIES. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT SPHENE CAN BE FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD AND ALTHOUGH GEM QUALITY STONES ARE RARE IT IS NOT USUALLY MADE IN A LAB.
 
SIZE: 7,0mm x 6.0mm x 3,6mm
 
TITANITE:
Sphene, better known to mineralogists as titanite, is a spectacular gemstone prized by collectors for its diamond-like luster and high dispersion (separation of white light into colours) which is even higher than diamonds.
TITANITE, OR SPHENE, IS A CALCIUM TITANIUM NESOSILICATE MINERAL, CATISIO. TRACE IMPURITIES OF IRON AND ALUMINIUM ARE TYPICALLY PRESENT. TITANITE IS NAMED FOR ITS TITANIUM CONTENT.
Sphene is not commonly seen in jewelry. Its hardness of 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale, along with its easy cleavage and parting, make it too fragile as a ring stone.
IRON HAS A STRONG INFLUENCE ON THE COLOR OF TITANITE. SMALL AMOUNTS OF IRON DARKEN THE COLOR. YELLOW AND GREEN SPECIMENS HAVE A LOW IRON CONTENT, WHILE BROWN AND BLACK SPECIMENS HAVE A HIGHER IRON CONTENT.
Sphene can be found all over the world, including Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Myanmar, Kenya, Austria, Brazil, Mexico, and the USA.  However, Madagascar is the primary source for the gem.
Although mostly considered a collectors gem, the sphene has a rare beauty that deserves more widespread admiration.
