From the mineral rich soils of Madagascar to the careful hands of our master cutters, this green apatite tells a story that is both geological and personal, The Natural Gemstone Company has followed its journey from rough crystal to a finished gem that commands attention. Weighing 2.99 carats, this transparent pear shape stone measures 10.27 by 7.88 by 6.07 millimeters, and its near three carat weight places it in a rare class among green apatites, a size that is uncommon and highly sought after by collectors and designers alike. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize scintillation and depth, and the excellent polish allows each facet to return light with crisp clarity. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is described as very slightly included, an honest grade that speaks to natural character without compromising brilliance. The color is intense, the green rich and lively, and the stone has been heat treated to enhance and stabilize that desirable hue.
As a gemstone specialist I can tell you that weight matters, and at 2.99 carats this apatite bridges the important threshold between smaller accent stones and substantial center gems, adding both monetary and aesthetic value. Larger apatites of vivid green color and transparent clarity are much less common than their smaller counterparts, and that scarcity is reflected in the market, making this stone a smart choice for bespoke jewelry and investment pieces. Its pear shape offers timeless elegance, and the dimensions provide an ideal profile for pendants, rings, and earrings where the gem can be set to showcase its depth and brilliance. Origin from Madagascar adds provenance and narrative, local geological conditions producing unique tones and saturation that collectors prize. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select and present gems with full disclosure, and this piece comes to you as heat treated, with an expert cut and polish that honors the natural beauty of the apatite. If you are seeking a stone with rarity, presence, and a clear origin story, this 2.99 carat pear green apatite is a gem that carries both visual splendor and tangible value.
