Always visually striking, Sphene makes for one for one of the most impressive gems in-hand. The visible flashes of dispersive color are so impressive - even more so when the stone is perfectly clean and has been given a fine US cut. We usually see the great ones, the ‘fireballs’ in Pakistani material - so typically with a strong golden brown color. Every once in while we see a bright green with incredibly dispersion - exactly the case with the lovely Malagasy gem. We actually had to rephotograph this one several times as the dispersion was too much as to make the photos look altered, it is that good.
