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 among the most vividly colored stones on the market, and its hue is often compared to that of Paraiba tourmaline. It suits silver, white gold and platinum settings, and works well in pendants or as an accent stone in earrings. A good choice for anyone after an unusual, saturated blue for a custom piece at an affordable price.
Natural neon blue apatite, 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
This apatite is 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.
