Gemological overview

Technical and gemological information about this gemstone variety.

Gemological profile

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals known for their vivid and often striking color range, most commonly appearing in shades of blue, green, and teal. In gem-quality material, apatite is appreciated for its bright, saturated colors and natural transparency, which can closely resemble more well-known gemstones.
Chemically, apatite is a calcium phosphate mineral, typically described by the formula Ca₅(PO₄)₃(F,Cl,OH). It crystallizes in the hexagonal crystal system and belongs to the phosphate mineral group. Gem-quality apatite usually displays a vitreous luster with transparent to slightly translucent clarity.
The refractive index of apatite generally ranges from approximately 1.628 to 1.649, contributing to a noticeable brilliance and strong color presence rather than high dispersion. Apatite is found in several regions worldwide, with notable sources including Brazil, Madagascar, Myanmar, Mexico, and Sri Lanka.

Durability & suitability

With a hardness of 5 on the Mohs scale, apatite is considered a relatively soft gemstone compared to many commonly used jewelry stones. While it can be used in jewelry, it is best suited for designs that minimize exposure to impact, such as pendants, earrings, and protected settings.
Apatite is generally not recommended for everyday rings due to its lower hardness and susceptibility to scratching. Its vivid color and visual appeal, however, make it an excellent choice for expressive, occasional-wear jewelry and distinctive statement pieces where careful handling can be ensured.

Treatments & authenticity

Apatite is commonly found without the need for enhancement. In some cases, heat treatment may be applied to improve color clarity or stability, a practice accepted within the gem trade when properly disclosed.
Any treatments or enhancements are always clearly stated for each individual gemstone. Every stone is professionally examined, and transparent disclosure is regarded as a fundamental part of responsible gemological practice, allowing clients to make informed and confident decisions.

Our approach to gemstones

We focus primarily on natural, untreated gemstones, valued for their authenticity and inherent beauty.
