Large Yellow Apatite
Mexico
This exceptionally beautiful collector's stone is rare for a number of reasons: the few yellow apatites which are found typically display a muddy brownish yellow hue and poor clarity—the present stone, with its elegant cushion shape, is characterized not only by a vivid yellow daffodil color, but also by its exceptional transparency and luster. The size is particularly large for the species, weighing in at 61.88 carats, while most yellow apatites never exceed the 15 carats range. An excellent choice for the collector of rarities. Weighing approximately 61.88 carats and measuring 24.03 x 23.53 x 15.81mm
