Massive, bright lime green Sphene (Titanite) from the Mahenge area of Tanzania. This is a large one weighing approximately 232 grams. It has flat, lustrous faces
that meet to form a wedge-like termination. Translucent with gem areas. These have always been uncommon and I haven't had another one for years.
