The ‘Sphene Titanite’ is an utterly remarkable gemstone – and then some !
Earth mined in the Kola Peninsula, Russia, this extraordinary example possesses a truly magnificent ‘Rainbow Spark’ (the characteristic that makes the Sphene so very special)
The Kola Peninsula is a place of amazing, if stark, beauty, and apart from the liveliness of Murmansk, it's the fresh-air attractions that make it exciting - skiing and snowboarding at Kirovsk, hiking in the Khibiny mountains, fishing some of the world's best salmon rivers, snowmobile safaris in winter, swimming in the White Sea in summer.
Sphene is named from the greek word for wedge, because of its typical wedge shaped crystal habit. It is also alternatively called Titanite for its titanium content. Sphene can be cut as gems although it is something of a rarity on the gem market. It brings to the table a fire greater than diamond and unique color shades. It’s ‘Rainbow Spark’ really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. It has long been a favourite of serious gemstone enthusiasts, and rightfully so.
