A trio of sparkling natural blue apatite ovals in a vivid aqua-blue color, these stones display the signature neon tone that has made African blue apatite so sought after among gem collectors and jewelry makers. The color is clean and well-saturated, with each stone showing a pleasing transparency and the characteristic silky needle inclusions that run through the body and give it a soft, milky luminescence in diffuse light. At 5mm these are compact but very lively stones that punch well above their weight visually.
These untreated African blue apatites offer natural neon color without any heat or enhancement. Their consistent size and closely matched hue make them particularly useful for symmetrical jewelry designs such as stud earrings or a coordinated pendant and earring set.
Natural neon blue apatite, matched 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.
