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.

Peridot Ring
BEAUTIFUL HAND-CUT, 2+ ct OVAL OLIVE GREEN PERIDOT SET IN 0.925 STERLING SILVER RING, SIZE 7
Peridot is a variety of Olivine, a gemstone frequently found embedded in pallasitic meteorites. Peridot is one of the few gemstones that occur in a one-color palette – green. The intensity and tint of the green, however, depend on the percentage of iron in the crystal structure, so the color of individual peridot gems can vary from yellow-green to olive green. Peridot and diamond are the only two gems observed to be formed not in Earth’s crust, but deep in the molten rock of the upper mantle. Gem-quality peridot is rare on Earth’s surface due to its susceptibility to alteration during its movement from deep within the mantle and weathering at the surface. Peridot is the August birthstone. Metaphysically, Peridot has been prized since the earliest civilizations for its claimed protective powers to drive away fears and nightmares. It is believed to carry the gift of “inner radiance”, sharpening the mind and opening it to new levels of awareness and growth, helping one to recognize and realize one’s destiny and spiritual purpose.

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.
