"This little rare stone packs a punch. Put it in any kind of light and will give more glitz then and diamond could hope to. Not jewelry type of gemstone, just for collecting. Mine was more yellow than pictured, which was great because the other stone I got some time back was more green.
Couldn't be happier!"

"The cut is 2.5 x 4 mm with a depth(from table to culet) of exactly 2mm, 'roval' (roundish oval, a term I've heard from Cheryl), yellowish green like a peridot but the fire is amazing, there are some feathers on one side but the light reflected shows you an amazing rainbow and not dull cloudiness. I see more fire in this sphene than I do in my SI(gia graded) G color diamond. The cut was probably to maximize weight(it's cut like a faceted bowl on the bottom, like a lot of sapphires and rubies are) but a diamond cut sphene would probably be blinding.
I hope everyone takes advantage of the price, sign up for the special email offers from JTV and you may receive free shipping coupon codes(I have) or be notified of days when shipping is free like last labor day. Such good prices almost make the regular shipping cost seem disproportionate, but don't pass up a chance like this because the cost is hardly indicative of the quality and this one is really worth trying!"
