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.
