Titanite, also known as sphene, is a calcium titanium silicate mineral with the formula CaTiSiO₅. It forms wedge-shaped monoclinic crystals with strong luster and remarkable dispersion. Titanite occurs in metamorphic rocks such as gneiss and schist, and in granitic pegmatites and skarns. Common colors include yellow, brown, green, and reddish tones. Major localities include Austria, Italy, Pakistan, Brazil, and Madagascar. This page explores the properties, formation, and significance of titanite in mineralogy and gemology.
