1.30 ct Yellow Sphene - Oval

At 1.3 carats, this sphene from Madagascar carries its yellow color through an oval cut, measuring 7.5 x 6.3 x 4 mm.

Sphene has dispersion higher than diamond, so a well-cut stone throws more fire than almost any other gemstone. Madagascar has produced an unusually wide range of gem species since the mid 1990s. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

A natural sphene small enough to wear every day and real enough to mean it, not a lab stone and not glass. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
