The Beauty and Rarity of Sphene: A Gemstone Worth Discovering

Sphene, also known as titanite, is a gemstone that possesses both beauty and rarity. With a unique combination of colors and a high refractive index, it is a gemstone that is highly sought after by collectors and jewelers alike.

The Physical Properties of Sphene

Sphene is a calcium titanium silicate mineral that can be found in various locations around the world, including.

Its crystal structure is orthorhombic, and it has a vitreous luster. Sphene's refractive index is 1.905-2.01, which is higher than most other gemstones.

The Color Variations of Sphene

One of the unique features of sphene is its wide range of color variations. The most common color is a yellow-green, but it can also be found in shades of orange, red, and even black. The color is caused by the presence of various impurities in the mineral, such as iron and titanium.

The yellow-green variety of sphene is known as "chlorosphene" and is caused by the presence of chlorine in the mineral. The orange and red varieties are caused by the presence of iron. Black sphene is a rare variety and is caused by the presence of titanium.
