These three natural blue apatite oval cuts are matched in a lovely aqua-teal blue with good transparency and a lively brightness that makes the most of their brilliant faceting. The color sits in that highly desirable range between turquoise and vivid neon blue, vivid and clean without any grey or muddiness. Each stone shows the silky needle inclusions typical of African blue apatite, which contribute to the soft inner glow rather than distracting from the overall beauty. The three pieces are closely matched in color and size, making them well suited for a set of earrings or a three-stone pendant design.
Sourced from Africa and completely untreated, these blue apatites are natural color with no heat or enhancement applied. At 5mm this size is very practical for earrings, accent stones, or small pendants.
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.
