"Apatite is a beautiful gemstone that showcases an incredible array of colors, from vibrant blues and greens to fiery oranges and reds." - Gemological Institute of America (GIA)

Apatite derives its name from a Greek word that means to deceive and rightful to the name, it is often mistaken for various other gems such as peridot, tourmaline, and emerald. But is a very soft crystal, unlike the gems it is mistaken for.  It was only distinguished from other crystals in the year 1789 by German geologist and mineralogist Abraham Werner.

GRADING OF THE GEMSTONE QUALITY

ORIGIN: The origin of the crystal plays a major role in determining the quality as the geographical setting influences the color and clarity. The sources that produce chatoyancy crystals and Paraiba Apatite are considered to be of high quality.

COLOR:  The sought-after shades listed above, such as neon blue, and blue-green are priced high for their uniqueness and also because of their rarity. The intensity of the color is very high for good-quality crystals. They can also exhibit pleochroism which refers to their ability to appear in different colors when viewed from different angles.

CLARITY: Even though inclusions are common for crystals, a high-quality apatite does not have visible inclusions and is eye clean. Sometimes, the inclusion of parallel fibers or needle-like structures in Apatite gives rise to its chatoyancy effect (gives the crystal cat’s pupil effect) and they are priced high for their beauty.

CUT: Cabochon cut is used to heighten the chatoyancy of the crystal. Cutters take account of the symmetry, facets, and proportions to maximize the stone’s natural beauty. The stone is very brittle and needs special attention and care to cut, thus, intricate designs can be priced higher.

CARAT: Like all crystals, with the increase in size the carat price also increases. With Apatite, the size of the stone, useful for making jewels, is available in relatively smaller sizes. Thus, a crystal above 5 carats would be priced much higher.

You can trust Gempiece to provide an excellent selection of gems without sacrificing quality or affordability. Choose from the array of gemological certificates we provide to determine for yourself the authenticity of the gemstone.

 

GEM CARE

With a hardness of 5 on the Mohs scale, it can easily be scratched or damaged, and is absolutely necessary to care for the gem to prevent it from damage. Here are some tips for caring for your Apatite jewelry:

Use clean water, gentle soap, and a soft cloth to clean the gem.

When wearing Apatite jewelry, avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, such as bleach or chlorine, which can damage the gemstone.

Apatite being a soft jewel, it is always a good idea to remove your Apatite jewelry before engaging in activities that could damage it, such as playing sports or doing heavy manual labor.

Store the gem in a jewelry box protected from heat, humidity, and sun and also from other jewelry than can cause scratches, loss of luster, and other damages.

Apatite is sensitive to heat and so it is best to not do mechanical cleanings such as steaming and ultrasonic. Also avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes, which can scratch or damage the gemstone.

Get the jewelry checked by professionals every few years to ensure its good condition.
