Me as well. Is that what you see IRL, Bluenights? |

I guess I captured the most brilliant look of this sphene. IRL it won't be as electric as in the picture, camera flash does help a little |

I love this yellow green as well, and your sphene is absolutely gorgeous! Do you see dispersion in it? Will you be settng it or keeping it unset?

Yes, also very strong double refraction I have no plan to set it...Cauz it's too soft... |

It's a pity sphene is rather soft, isn't it? I dare not set mine but a few PSers have a tough constitution. LD and Arcadia have sphene rings.

Your stone is amazing. I've always wanted some sphene, but not sure what I'd do with it. Maybe a nice pendant.

Really pretty. I wish I could set sphene, but to find a jeweler who could do it, and then to be careful wearing it, is very difficult.

Is the concern that it will chip or just out and out crack through? |

Well it's only a 5 on the hardness scale, so scratching is definitely an issue, and I'm sure setters have to be super careful. |
