One of my favorite gems is sphene, or more properly, titanite. |
Reddish grains of sphene or of garnet are occasionally visible. |
Accessory minerals are represented by apatite, zoisite, sphene, calcite, fluorite and magnetite. |
Ilmenite is now largely preserved as skeletal crystals in which exsolved magnetite lamellae have been altered, and the ilmenite itself partly altered to sphene. |
Among other minerals found in them are biotite, chlorite, tourmaline, epidote, apatite, garnet, hornblende, augite, sphene and pyrites. |
How about sphene versus titanite, or celestine versus celestite? |
