What is Titanite (Sphene)?

Titanite, also called sphene, is a calcium titanium silicate that forms distinctive wedge-shaped crystals (sphene comes from the Greek for "wedge"). Cut gems show fire greater than diamond, but titanite is soft, so it's mostly a collector's stone. Fine crystals come from Pakistan and Madagascar.
