Apatite (Cat's Eye)

Item Description

Richly colored Apatite really only comes from a handful of 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. Here we have a wonderful and eye-cathing "cat's eye" gem with a sharp, distinct "eye" that is best seen when a strong light is reflected upon the dome. This particular stone exhibits the a very saturated blue green color and is a good size stone for the material. It has and "Oval Cabochon" cut. One of the few stones of this material that I have to offer, and with a very hard to find shade of green. This stone came to us with a high retail value of $252.00.
