Description
Apatite is little know outside the gem collector market, yet deserves wider recognition. It comes a variety of brilliant colors, with the more desirable being a bright greenish blue. More common is brilliant yellow or greenish yellow, like this gem. The refractive index and dispersion are similar to topaz, but its softer. Because of its softness and sensitivity to heat/thermal shock apatite must be treated with care when set in jewelry and is best suited for occasional wear.
This gorgeous brilliant yellow apatite comes from Durango, Mexico, which is famed for its apatite. While some yellow gems can have a brown modifier, this is a pure yellow that can shade to a chartreuse depending on the lighting. I cut it in my modified round brilliant design, tweaked slightly for the optical characteristics of this gem material. The gem weighs 2.34 carats and measures 7.90 x 5.78 mm.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
