Here is a lovely Apatite gem from Madagascar! It is a pretty mint green color that is bright and earthy. The cut is a square shape with a brilliant style cut that looks fantastic on this material. The stone glitters beautifully when moved in hand! It has great clarity with only a few minor inclusions that are hardly noticed by eye. The polish is excellent and produces fantastic light return. This material from Madagascar is lovely and resembles the classic material from the Panasqueira mine in Portugal. Apatite can be worn in jewelry, however it is not advisable for a ring stone due to the hardness being only 5 on the Mohs scale. This gem is just stunning in person and will make a fine addition to a gem collection! This stone was faceted by Robert Heath. Enjoy!
