This bracelet features over 18 carats of smooth Neon Blue Apatite rondelles (3-5mm) strung with 2mm round sterling silver beads, using a sterling silver lobster clasp and findings.
Apatite occurs in such a wide variety of attractive colors and forms, it is a favorite among gemstone collectors. It is a very common mineral, but transparent gemstone-quality apatite is extremely rare.
The name 'apatite' was derived from a Greek word meaning 'cheat'. It was given its name because of its close resemblance to several other gemstones that are often more valuable. As a result, apatite became unfairly labeled as the 'deceitful stone'.
Apatite is found in a number of places in the world, including Myanmar (Burma), India, Kenya, Brazil, Norway, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Mexico, Canada and the United States.
These particular blue Apatite gems were mined in Brazil.
*This bracelet comes expertly packaged in a beautiful blue gift box and finished with a satin ribbon. Also in the box: a Sunshine Soft polishing cloth and an anti-tarnish pad to keep your jewelry shiny and clean.
