General Information:
Sphene, also known as Titanite, is a brilliant gemstone with the chemical formula CaTiSiO₅. It is a calcium titanium silicate, formed in metamorphic and igneous rocks through the crystallization of calcium-rich minerals under high-temperature and pressure conditions. Sphene is prized for its exceptional color dispersion, which exceeds that of diamonds, resulting in a vibrant rainbow-like sparkle. This dispersion, combined with its rich color range, makes sphene a highly sought-after gemstone for jewelry. Its naturally occurring hues include green, yellow, brown, and occasionally pink, reflecting its complex crystal structure and mineral composition.
