Item Description

These are some of the most classic Apatites from any world locality. This material is well known for its unique greenish-yellow color, but it's quite difficult to find CLEAN stones in this size today. This stone is not only surprisingly clean gem, but the color along with the wonderful cutting makes for an eye-catching example of this now hard to find material. This stone has a "Brilliant Cushion" cut and looks fantastic in both sunlight and indoor lighting. If you think about it, Apatite is found in a wide variety of colors, but these classic gems from Mexico are arguably the BEST and most well-known examples for Apatite from anywhere. These stones are a lot less common to find on the market today than they were 20+ years ago and it seems that the material has "dried up". A great collectors stone with excellent size, cutting, clarity and color. The high end retail price on this stone is $1,096.00
