Natural Blue Apatite 1.16ct Octagon Cut

This natural blue apatite octagon cut is a vivid, almost electric cyan-blue that immediately calls to mind the famous neon blue apatite Madagascar is known for. The elongated octagon shape gives the stone an elegant, vintage feel, and the step-cut faceting along the sides lets the intense color saturate the interior in a clean, window-like way. Fine needle inclusions are visible within the body, adding a natural silkiness to the interior without detracting from the vibrancy of the color. The blue is true and saturated, leaning toward a turquoise-cyan rather than a deeper navy.

Sourced from Madagascar and completely untreated, this 1.16-carat blue apatite has a striking color that rivals much more expensive gems. Neon blue apatite from Madagascar is one of the most vividly colored gemstones available, often drawing comparisons to Paraiba tourmaline in hue. It suits silver, white gold, and platinum settings well, and works beautifully in pendants or as an accent stone in earrings. A great choice for anyone wanting an unusual, vivid blue for custom jewelry at an accessible price point.
