This natural blue apatite crystal combines excellent transparency, a complete termination, and attractive sky blue colour zoning. Its slender crystal form is instantly recognisable as classic Merelani apatite and gives the piece a refined appearance despite its miniature size.

What makes this specimen particularly appealing is the balance between colour and form. The crystal displays a delicate blue core running through the centre, while the sharp termination and elongated habit create the elegant needle-like appearance collectors seek in Tanzanian apatite. Light passes easily through much of the crystal, highlighting both its transparency and internal character. You will receive the exact specimen pictured.
