Sphene, also known as titanite, is a unique and striking gemstone that is prized for its exceptional brilliance and dispersion. It typically exhibits a yellow-green to brownish color, although it can also be found in shades of orange, red, and even colorless. One of the standout features of sphene is its high refractive index, which gives it a dazzling sparkle that can rival diamonds.
The crystal structure of sphene is typically orthorhombic, and it often forms in elongated crystals that can be quite intricate. Due to its high titanium content, sphene can display a beautiful play of colors, often referred to as "fire," which is the result of its strong dispersion.
In terms of hardness, sphene ranks around 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale, which means it is relatively softer than many other gemstones, so care should be taken when wearing or setting it in jewelry. Sphene is believed to have metaphysical properties that promote clarity of thought and emotional balance.
Overall, sphene is a captivating gemstone that can add a unique touch to any collection or piece of jewelry!

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.
