Item Description
This neon blue Apatite really only comes from two places in the world. The Bahia area of Brazil produces a very intense deep blue color of Apatite, but stones are often very small. The Madagascar material is probably best known around the world for its intense ocean blue color and has made a comeback in the gem world as I've seen it on some of the home shopping jewelry channels lately. This particular stone exhibits the classic ocean blue color and is a good size stone for the material. It is very slightly included with an "Oval" cut.
