A rounded cushion cut with softly curved corners, this apatite glows a bright yellow with a faint green undertone that adds a cool edge to its warmth. Fine dark needle inclusions and small pinpoints trace delicate paths through the body, some clustering into faint fingerprint-like patterns typical of natural, unheated apatite. The overall effect is a lively, textured stone rather than a flat wash of color, with light moving unevenly across the facets as it catches on these natural internal features.
Sourced from Africa, this stone is completely untreated, its yellow-green color and internal texture entirely natural. At just under 12mm across, it's a good size for a pendant or a cocktail-style ring in a protective setting, and its visible inclusions make it a nice example for anyone interested in seeing genuine, unenhanced apatite up close.

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.
