Linde ceased production of these stones in 1974. Since then, other manufacturers have produced beautiful lab star sapphires. These stones are chemically the same as natural sapphires, and with a Mohs hardness of 9, are quite durable and a thrifty alternative to their very expensive natural cousins.
Blue Apatite Post Earrings
BEAUTIFUL AND RARE BLUE APATITE SET IN 14k YELLOW GOLD BEZEL MOUNT POST EARRINGS
Apatite is the name given to a group of phosphate minerals that occur naturally in various colors and can be faceted into gemstones. The name itself comes from the Greek word “apatao,” which means “to deceive”. This is likely due to the fact that apatite’s wide variety of colors causes it to be mistaken for other minerals, like beryl or tourmaline. Blue Apatite is particularly valued by jewelry designers. Significant deposits are found in Russia, Brazil & Mexico. Metaphysically speaking, Apatite is believed to be a stone of manifestation attuned to the future, activating psychic abilities and allowing expansion of knowledge.
