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 rich electric blue color. It is a very good size stone from a lesser known locality in Brazil. 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 heat treated to ehance the color, and this is a perfectly accepted practice for this material. This little "sparkler" is one of the most attractive and rare colors for Apatite that I know of. This stone is very slightly included with a "Pear" cut. The retail value on this gem is $100 per carat.
