Locations Found & History:

But in 1801, it was renamed sphene by French mineralogist, Rene Just Hauy. The name changed again, but now it’s okay to call it either Sphene or Titanite. It’s also a very rare calcium titanium silicate. Sphene comes from the Greek word meaning wedge and that describes the sharp edges of the stone. It’s been highly regarded for many years, but since it is so rare it hasn’t become very popular. The Smithsonian Institution has a necklace with yellow sphene from Switzerland.
Rarity, Value & Variations:
Sphene is usually quite small and gemstones over two carats are extremely difficult to find. Its fire is greater than the fire of diamonds, but since it only rates a 5.5 on the hardness scale it’s too soft to make into rings. It’s mainly used to make pendants, brooches, and earrings.
