An exceptionally large Brazilian Sphene with blinding brilliance. One of the standout features of sphene is its high dispersion, which creates a fiery display of spectral colors when exposed to light, often exceeding that of diamonds. This optical property, combined with its excellent luster, makes sphene highly sought after by collectors.
