Sphene, also known as titanite, is a rare and captivating gemstone admired for its exceptional brilliance and vibrant dispersion, often exceeding that of diamonds. Its name derives from the Greek word sphenos, meaning “wedge,” referring to the crystal’s distinctive wedge-shaped structure.
Sphene typically occurs in shades of green, yellow, brown, or orange, with lime green and golden hues being the most sought after. The gem’s high refractive index gives it a fiery sparkle, showcasing rainbow-like flashes of color.
Due to its relative softness (5-5.5 on the Mohs scale) and perfect cleavage, sphene is best suited for pendants, earrings, or collectors’ pieces rather than everyday wear. It is highly valued by gem enthusiasts for its rarity, unique optical properties, and remarkable beauty.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
