The findings and magnetic clasp with safety chain are 14⁄20 gold-fill. Length: 8 inches. Apatite is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks, where it is a common phosphate mineral. However, most occurrences usually have grains which are often visible only in thin section. Transparent stones of clean color have been faceted, and chatoyant (cat's eye) specimens have been cabochon-cut. Chatoyant stones are known as cat's-eye apatite, transparent green stones are known as asparagus stone, and blue stones have been called moroxite. If crystals of rutile have grown inside the crystal of apatite, in the right light the cut stone displays a cat's-eye effect. Major sources for gem quality apatite are Brazil, Myanmar, and Mexico.
