1.59 ct Blue Apatite - Pear

At 1.59 carats, this apatite from Madagascar carries its blue color through a pear cut, measuring 8.1 x 5.1 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. Madagascar has produced an unusually wide range of gem species since the mid 1990s. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
