Polished Blue Apatite Sphere - Rings

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 an island-heavy world, with light vegetation spread throughout.

Note: web colours may be slightly different than actual item due to camera and compressed image upload. This is a deep, dark blue in person. 

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

(ignore the water droplets - it was raining:)
