These Natural Apatite Plain rounds has majority that are Neon Apatite is one of those gemstones that can be compared to Nilamani blue Kyanite known to mimic the Kashmir sapphire and Apatite has been many a times been compared to Paraiba tourmalines famed for it's lighter blues, greens blue to even vivid electric blues as well as a pink violet, all with magnesium giving these colours a sparkle. Apatite is a gemstone to watch especially when we have witnessed in our living time the situation in the gem industry with Diamonds, Tanzanite, Pearls and Zircon and I feel it is only a matter of time when Apatite will be in demand when there's hardly any availability of Paraiba tourmalines. Neon Apatite which has saturation glow that similar to good quality glowing Emeralds and this can be compared to a intense electric blue Paraiba tourmaline. Apatite has a varied range of colours from blues, greens, yellow. I had read a GIA article of 2022 Garnet with Apatite inclusion which is know as 'Dargon Garnet' giving a glowing pink violet gemstone that has red fluorescence in the garnet due to chromium, under long-wave UV. Another GIA article 2013 Blue cats eye Apatite - a deep blue colour, with cats eye this is rare.
The Apatite rounds has good clarity, saturated glowing blue colour and some of the rounds have adularescence. I will be using these Neon Apatite in a jellewery design with other gemstones. This is definitely a gemstone not to miss out on especially at affordable price. Thank you JM **
