LAKE BAIKAL BLUE — AND THE TRANSLUCENCY IS INSANE

LAKE BAIKAL BLUE — AND THE TRANSLUCENCY IS INSANE.

These Apatites from the legendary Lake Baikal region of Siberia, Russia are absolutely mesmerizing.

That electric blue color is already enough to stop you in your tracks, but it’s the incredible translucency that takes these to another level. Light pours through the crystals, revealing layer after layer of saturated blue, internal zoning, and natural architecture.

Side by side, they look like pieces of frozen blue water pulled straight from the earth.

This is exactly why fine Apatite can be so addictive — outrageous color, beautiful crystal form, and a glow that completely changes when the light hits it.

Earth’s art in electric blue.
