This is a light yellow/green sphene from Madagascar with a silver-like luster. Unusually for sphene, it has a baguette shape. The crown features an "Ayatori cut," a type of scissor cut applied across the entire surface, while the pavilion has a sharp radiant cut.

Depending on the angle, one side sparkles intensely, and the pavilion's cut, which sometimes appears bicolored, creates a complex scissor-like brilliance due to the Ayatori cut on the crown, which features rhomboid and triangular facets across its entire surface.

Although there is a needle-like inclusion and a linear inclusion in one corner, they are not significantly noticeable to the naked eye. Overall, it is a beautiful crystal with high transparency and exhibits colorful fire.

From its "BEFORE" state as an octagon shape, we removed inclusions to create this luxurious baguette shape.

Please enjoy this sphene, a specialty of GTJ, which dramatically changes its sparkle depending on the cut and surface luster, right in your hands.
