Sphene, Approx. 7.45cwt. Natural Earth Mined. 17.6x11.1x4.75mm. Unheated.

THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED SPHENE. Expect flaws and inclusions. I do not sell lab produced or glass filled stones which are not considered real gems. Flawless genuine gems are rare and expensive. Flawless fakes and man made gems are plentiful and cheap.. Why Settle for Imitations?
This gem is approx. 7.45cwt. Minimal fire, but Sphene of this size are very rare.
Video of the gem is available on request. Any questions, Please ask.

I have been a gemologist for decades and I am now retired and do this to raise funds for animal sanctuaries. My selling price is determined by what I had to pay, and it is always far below retail replacement value. The retail replacement figure is designed for bricks and mortar jewelers with high overheads. Many of my gems were purchased decades ago.
