A somewhat surprising bodycolor for Sphene, we can honestly say that we have never seen such a 'lemon' yellow gem before. Green is almost always highly evident, and if not that, then brown. There is very little green here and the yellow dominates - we found this in a parcel of much more mundanely colored stones and had to test it to make sure as it is so different. Very dispersive as you would expect. Outstanding color, great size and US cutting too.
