Description: Sphene has long been one of my favorite gemstones, so when I had the opportunity to purchase this as a rough crystal during the 2003 Southfield Michigan gem show I jumped on it. I purchased the gem directly from a representative from one of the smaller mines in Capelinha, Brazil. Sphene from this region is known for its very vivid neon green color which this gemstone has. Capelinha Sphene are one of the rarest and most prized gemstones on the market today. Very early info plotting this gemstone, I could see it was of the highest quality. I wanted to show off its flawless eye clean clarity and vivid neon color with my favorite cut. The emerald octagon step cut was the perfect choice. Its elongated culet runs the length of the stone allowing for a deeper cut with more material under the table of the gem. This really highlighted its rare neon green color which Capelinha Sphene are known for. The long step cuts flash huge panels of rainbow sparkle with each movement under the light. You Sphene is often heavily included, and cutters try to hide this by adding extra facets which lowers the cut grade by giving it a low proportional value. I wanted to show off this gemstones eye clean clarity, which is another reason why I chose this cut. Its large long facets would show any imperfection. This gives the stone an instant recognition of its amazing quality when viewed. This investment worthy gemstone measures 8 mm long with a width of 6 mm and a depth of 3.5 mm. It has a weight of carats. This is the perfect size for a ring or pendant. This gemstone is completely natural. It has not been enhanced in any manner. The pictures of this gem do not do it justice. Please forgive my inexperience when it comes to photographing the gemstones I cut. I plan to use the proceeds of some of the gemstones I sell to purchase a better camera and some photography equipment. Until then please forgive me. I always loved this gemstone and I am sure you will too. Be sure to view my other items and save on multiple purchases!
