Radiant, complex, and unmistakably rare, Sphene—also known as Titanite—is a gemstone that dazzles with color and light like no other. Renowned for its remarkable dispersion (the ability to split light into rainbow flashes), Sphene displays fiery hues of red, orange, yellow, and green that rival even the brilliance of a diamond. Its name, derived from the Greek word sphenos (“wedge”), references the crystal’s sharp, angular form and perfectly complements the gem’s cutting-edge sparkle.
Fine Sphene is treasured for its exceptional optical performance, combining high refractive index with intense fire and rich body color. Shades range from golden chartreuse to deep forest green, often accented by flashes of red and orange that ignite across every facet. The finest gem-quality Sphene is mined in Madagascar, Brazil, Mexico, and Pakistan, where expert lapidaries craft it into precision-cut stones designed to unleash its full spectrum of brilliance.
With a Mohs hardness of 5–5.5, Sphene requires care when worn but rewards that attention with breathtaking beauty. Its dispersion surpasses nearly all other gemstones, making it a prized choice for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate rare optical phenomena and precision faceting.
