These three natural blue apatite oval cuts share a beautiful aqua-blue color that sits right in that coveted neon teal zone. Each stone shows good transparency with the silky, fine needle inclusions typical of African blue apatite running through the interior, giving the gems a soft luminescence alongside their natural sparkle. The ovals are compact at around 5mm, with well-proportioned faceting and bright color return. The set shows small, natural variations in depth of color between pieces, which is entirely expected in natural untreated gemstones.
Sourced from Africa and completely untreated, these blue apatites are a popular choice for jewelry designers wanting vivid aqua-teal color stones for earrings or multi-stone work.
Natural neon blue apatite, set of 3, 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.
