While we have seen colors similar to this from Brazil, they seem to be lacking the very slightly blue modifier that really makes this color stand out. It is a natural hue, and not heated like the bright blue Apatites from Madagascar. The cutting is excellent (a precision US job in fact), the gem is clean and the size is extremely respectable for these. A very distinctive color variety that we never seem to be offered with any frequency. Rare.
