Three natural Brazilian blue apatite rounds in a vivid aqua-teal blue, compact at 4mm but punchy in color. The neon blue-green hue is consistent and bright, with precise round faceting ensuring a high level of light return from each stone. Fine silky needle inclusions within the body are normal and expected for this gem type and add to rather than detract from the overall character. These three pieces are well-matched for symmetrical applications.
From Brazil and entirely untreated, these natural blue apatite rounds show off their color beautifully once set. The 4mm size is particularly useful for earring studs, accent stones, and small ring settings.
Natural blue apatite, set of 3 rounds, sold loose.

About apatite
Apatite is a calcium phosphate. At 5 on the Mohs scale it is soft for a gemstone and sensitive to acids, heat and knocks, so it is best for pendants, earrings or a collection.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: vibration and sudden temperature changes can crack it. Keep it away from acids, including lemon juice and vinegar, and household cleaners.
Wear and storage
With a hardness below 7 it can be scratched even by quartz, which is found in household dust, and a knock can chip it. Wipe it gently and store it on its own in a soft pouch. It suits pendants and earrings better than an everyday ring.
For your jeweler
These stones are untreated. Apatite should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath. A bezel or another protective setting suits it best.
