Lot 2216

In excellent condition.

Sphene belongs to the titanite mineral group, occurring as an accessory mineral in granitic and calcium-rich metamorphic rocks, and is the only member of the group commonly used in jewelry; "sphene" is more commonly used in the gem and jewelry sector while geologists and mineralogists tend to use "titanite."
Sphene is a collector's gem and is particularly rare when you start talking about a clean stone above 5 carats
