Not uncommon, Cat’s Eye Apatite is available in a wide range of colors. These are generally governed by the adage that the better the clarity, the weaker the eye and vice versa. Blues especially tend to be opaque, so we were quite pleased to spot this gem in a collection - it balances these two qualities quite admirably. The stone is gem - entirely transparent and clean save for a few thin needles - none of the common fractures. The eye is moderate, not strong, but this is forgiven with such a fine color - an intense blue-green that is bright and saturated. Great size and polish.
