1.19ct Madagascan Neon Apatite 5-Stone Oval Ring 9ct Yellow Gold

Apatite are rare, beautiful, blue gemstones from Brazil and Madagascar. Apatite is a hugely popular gemstone that comes in almost every shade of blue, from cool neon through to bright indigo and vivid royal blues. A gemmological chameleon, Apatite’s name comes from the Greek ‘apatao’ (to deceive) due to a historical confusion with other gemstones. Apatite’s propensity for deception even has its roots in Greek mythology. One of the spirits released from Pandora’s Box, Apate is the goddess of deceit, fraud and trickery. While its name is really about how Apatite can fool you, it does sound a bit like ‘appetite’ and there actually is a ‘hunger’ connection; a calcium phosphate, Apatite crystals are one of the components of teeth and bones in all vertebrate animals.

This ring features:

• 5 x Oval cut Madagascan Neon Apatite gemstones measuring approx. 5x3mm each with a combined minimum gemstone weight of 1.19ct.
• Expertly crafted in 9ct Yellow Gold with a metal weight of 3grams.
