From the green veins of Madagascar to the bench of our master cutter, this 3.21 carat yellowish green sphene, titanite, tells a story of earth, hands, and precision. Formed over millions of years within metamorphic pockets, the rough crystal was discovered by careful artisanal miners who prized Madagascar for its rich and varied deposits. We at The Natural Gemstone Company selected this particular piece for its rare combination of intense color intensity and transparency, and entrusted it to a cutter skilled in balancing weight retention with optical performance. The result is a radiant shape measuring 9.05 x 6.97 x 6.72 mm, with a radiant cut that amplifies sphene characteristic dispersion and lively brilliance. No enhancement has been applied, so the gem presents its natural palette and optical properties exactly as the earth produced them, finished to an excellent polish that allows light to dance through each facet.
This sphene has a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, inclusions that serve as a fingerprint of provenance rather than a flaw, adding character and authenticity to a collector grade gem. Its intense yellowish green hue offers a vivid focal point that pairs beautifully with warm metals and bespoke settings, and its strong fire makes it a conversation piece in any high end gemstone collection. As stewards of responsibly sourced gemstones, The Natural Gemstone Company ensures thorough documentation of origin and careful handling from mine to market, so collectors receive a gem with a traceable history and impeccable finish. For curators seeking a singular piece that bridges geological wonder and wearable art, this 3.21 carat radiant sphene from Madagascar is a perfect addition, ready to be set into an heirloom ring or presented as a centerpiece in a private collection, and our team is available to advise on mounting options that preserve the stone, highlight its intense color, and honor the journey it has taken from the earth to the hand.
