Polished Blue Apatite Sphere

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals. Apatite may come in different hues, such as yellow or blue, and our polished deeply rich blue spheres owe their hue to manganese, and thus would properly be called "manganese-bearing fluorapatite" - with the fluorapatite designation separating it from the others in the apatite mineral group.

This particular piece resembles a rich water world with strong, crashing waves, and a massive sandy continent stretching the entire planet.

Note: web may show slightly different colour than actual item due to camera and upload. This piece is a beautiful, somewhat light - but still rich and deep and vibrant - blue.

Also note: this piece is quite large and heavy. Most on the market are less than half a kilo and half this diameter.
