Apatite (rare colorless stone)

Item Description

Apatite is well-known from many world localities, but fine gems from Afghanistan are fairly rare in my experience. This material is becoming more and more difficult to find as the best deposits for the produce less rough these days. Apatite comes in virtually color of the rainbow, but oddly, this stone is COLORLESS, which is honestly quite rare for the material. This is certainly one of the larger colorless Apatite that we've had from Afghanistan, and it's fine quality to boot. The stone is only very very slightly included, and considering that the majority of these stones rarely approach 1 carat in weight (even with inclusions), this is an impressive stone for Afghanistan since it weighs well over 1 carat.
