|  Natural Sapphirine
Sapphirine is a rare mineral, a silicate of magnesium and aluminium.Though Sapphirine clearly falls into the "rare stone" category, it is a relatively durable stone with a Moh's hardness of 7.5. Sapphirine's very distinctive appearance along with their somewhat unusual durability have made them fairly popular with collectors.

|  Natural Sphene
Sphene is also known as calcium titanium silicate.It is named from the greek word for wedge, because of its typical wedge shaped crystal habit.Because of it's high dispersion and refractive index, a well cut sphene can display stunning brilliance. Sphene is somewhat soft and as a result is more suitable as a pendant than as a ring stone. Sphene is rarely very clean.
