Exclusive XL Masterpiece: 100% Natural Deep Sea Green Apatite Freeform – Not Heated – 3.28 kg (24 cm) Description: Meet this breathtaking and extraordinarily large auction piece: a solid, high-quality polished freeform of green apatite (also known as Teal Apatite) from the rich Madagascar deposits. With an impressive weight of no less than 3285 grams and a height of 24 cm, this is not an everyday mineral, but an exclusive collector’s item and an absolute focal point in any interior. Guaranteed 100% Natural Color – Untreated & Not Heated: In the gemstone trade, apatite is very often artificially heated to intensify or blue-shift the color. This exclusive XL specimen, however, is completely pure, untreated, and not heated. The deep, vibrant sea-green color and the unique layering were formed entirely by nature itself. Precisely because of its exceptionally large size, this stone is left in its original, authentic state, making this piece even rarer and more valuable to collectors. Note: At the underside there is a small notch formed during polishing, but it is hardly noticeable when the mineral stands upright. Mineral Origin & Locality: Apatite is a phosphate mineral found worldwide, but the most vibrant and deeply colored varieties are mined in Madagascar’s famous mines. This specific piece was hand-selected and expertly cut and polished into an organic 'freeform' shape, allowing the layered, glassy structure to show to its best advantage. Natural product in pure form: This is a 100% pure and authentic natural product. Characteristic of apatite are its internal lamellations. Any natural fracture lines, veins, or minuscule surface imperfections belong to the mineral’s character. These are not damages, but evidence of the natural origin and the mineral’s unique growth over millions of years. Metaphysical Properties & Chakra: In crystal lore, green apatite is known as a powerful stone of renewal and vitality. Whereas blue apatite is often said to resonate with the throat chakra, this rarer green variety strongly resonates with the Heart Chakra (4th chakra). * It helps restore balance between mind and feeling. * It stimulates motivation, hope, and aids in releasing old patterns. * Due to its enormous size, this sculpture has a powerful presence that radiates harmonious, vital energy throughout the space. Care: Apatite has a hardness of 5 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively soft and delicate. * Cleaning: Clean the stone only with a dry or lightly damp, soft microfiber cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners or hard brushes. * Charging/Placement: Place the stone out of direct, intense sunlight to preserve the deep color intensity. Charging can safely be done in moonlight or on a bed of quartz.

Extra Info: Blue apatite is a calcium phosphate mineral known for its deep blue to blue-green color and characteristic internal veins and fracture lines. In the mineral world, such freeforms are often used as decoration or valued for their calming symbolic properties.
