What Makes This Gemstone Relevant
Sphene is one of the few gemstones whose dispersion beats diamond’s, and that’s the fire in fire sphene. Green titanite sphene adds that fire to a color most green stones can’t match. The stone is 3.5 mm deep against a 7 mm width, so it sits low in a setting. To see green sphene before it’s cut, look at our raw titanite sphene from Skardu, and for how emerald cuts compare with other shapes, read gemstone cuts explained. The full range is in the Sphene Gemstones collection.
Buying Considerations
Sphene is softer than many ring stones, and an emerald cut’s corners are its weak points. A bezel or prongs at all four corners will protect the stone. If this is your first loose stone, our guide to buying loose gemstones online without getting scammed is a useful checklist. Ships economy.
