Video taken under LED 5000K light. Stone is even better in person!
With a dispersion (break up of light into spectral colors) of 0.051 as compared to Diamond’s 0.044 & being doubly refractive, Sphene displays a lot more fire than Diamond. Sphene also has a very high refractive index up to 2.11 which is higher than Zircons up to 1.99. Sphene is a relatively soft stone though at 5 - 5/12 hardness.
Though it can be worn in rings, great care & conservative wearing is the rule. Great for pendants & earrings, but you do need a bench jeweler who is very experienced with colored stones to set it.
This Sphene is about as good as it gets. Though the video is nice, this stone is better in person, shooting fireworks of color in every direction. It is eye clean facing up in hand with a saturated (no gray) bright yellowish green medium tone & color. The faceting in the Portuguese cut is very nice really bringing the brilliance out. The pavilion though deep & a little wonky serves this Stone very well face up. Next to no extinction in the stone. Will fit in an 11 mm x 11 mm mount.
A true gem piece for the collector of the beautiful & rare.
