This trio of natural blue apatite rounds displays the characteristic neon aqua-teal color of Brazilian blue apatite, bright and saturated even at just 4mm. The round cut maximizes the optical performance of each stone, and the color return is vivid and consistent. Fine needle inclusions within the body are present, as is typical, lending each stone a gentle inner silk that complements the blue rather than diminishing it. The three pieces are consistent in size and hue and can be used as a ready-matched set.
Untreated and from Brazil, these round blue apatites are natural-color stones with no heat or enhancement applied. The 4mm round is one of the most useful sizes in gemstone jewelry.
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.
