Since discoveries in Madagascar (1995) and later Brazil, Apatite has become a hugely popular jewelry gemstone. While Apatite is famously known for coming in almost every shade of blue, Red Apatite is a relatively new Brazilian discovery that has been captivating connoisseurs around the globe. Red Apatite is exceptional not only because of their uniquely beautiful, reddish hue, but also due to their high clarity and scant availability.

Apatite is a gorgeous gem that occurs in blue, brown, gray, green, pink, purple, red, teal, violet, white, and yellow. While Apatite is an abundant mineral found in many countries, gem-quality crystals are very rare and plagued by sporadic production. Apatite’s inherent geological scarcity is also heightened by faceting difficulties.
