1.30 ct Blue Apatite - Pear

At 1.3 carats, this apatite from Brazil carries its blue color through a pear cut, measuring 9.4 x 5.7 x 3.8 mm.

Apatite reaches neon blue-greens that rival Paraiba tourmaline at a fraction of the price, soft enough that it belongs in earrings and pendants. Brazil has been one of the most prolific colored-gemstone sources in the world for a century, and still turns up new material on a regular basis. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

A natural apatite small enough to wear every day and real enough to mean it, not a lab stone and not glass. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
