Cat's Eye Apatite

Buy Cat's Eye Apatite

Apatite originates from the Greek word for "cheat". Apatite earned that unfair title from its possibility for confusion with amblygonite, andalusite, brazilianite, precious beryl, sphene, topaz or tourmaline. Apatite, a stone seldom found in jewelry stores and virtually unknown to the general public, is beloved by collectors for its many different colors and forms.

About Cat's Eye Apatite

The cat's eye effect, a valued rarity, adds to the glamor of the gemstone. Chatoyancy, the cat's eye effect, is a reflection of light by parallel fibers, needles, or channels, which resemble the slit eye of a cat. When the stone is rotated, the cat's eye glides over the surface. The cabochon cut, commonly used for cat's eye effect, is excellent for a unique brooch or pendant, if its base is parallel to the fibers. With a hardness of 5 on the Mohs scale the gemstone is slightly too soft to be recommended for rings. Since large stones are quite inexpensive, cat's eye apatite makes an affordable and attractive piece of jewelry. Apatite is said to help in communication with nature and the spirit of plants.

Love the gem.... ease of finding the right gem. For me it was the size of the gem that was important on this purchase. I found the right size.

I was really looking for a gem quality jadeite, exactly 7mm round. No such luck anywhere, so I bought several other 7mm stones just to look. Was fun rummaging through all the goodies.

Great selection of items easey to place order definitely will order from you again Just wish that there was a place on the sight to convert MM to inches or be able to pick between mm and inches to determine the size of stone's for those of us that do not use the metric system
