Item Description
First off, let me say that this is one of the most phenomenal colors in the gem world. It is very difficult to photograph as it has a very INTENSE electric blue color. These gems are not from Minas Gerais, but from the state of Bahia. In my opinion, these are the BEST blue color Apatite gems that I have seen from anywhere in the world. Please note that this stone has been heated to ehance the color, but this is a perfectly safe and completely accepted practice in the gem world for these stones. This gem is very very slightly included with a "Round" cut.
