Blue Aegean Apatite Ring

The Aegean seems to have it's own shade of sapphire blue that has inspired artisans for thousands of years.  When I found this stone, it brought me back to the beautiful island of Crete.

It's rectangular Apatite cabochon is set in 22K gold with groups of four granules on each side.  A unique feature of this stone is, adularescence, the light that appears to billow across a gem, caused by the scattering of light between its microscopic layers.

Stone is 12x6 mm and size 8.  (Sizing is available for a nominal charge - please email me for details)  One of a kind, signed.
