There has been no production of this classic Malagasy ‘neon’ Apatite for years. This stone was cut from an old piece of rough that we set aside over a decade ago. While the color is heated, it remains the standard for these vivid Apatites; there are some Brazilian stones as well but they never seem to match the enormous the size possible from Malagasy stones. There are a very few ‘speck’ type inclusions that can catch the light briefly when rotated, but nothing at all distracting. Very large and choice piece.
