Geology & Origin

Apatite forms in both igneous and metamorphic rocks and occurs worldwide, particularly in regions shaped by complex geological processes such as Sri Lanka. The island is renowned for its wide variety of gemstones found in alluvial deposits as well as in primary host rocks. Sri Lankan apatites are especially known for their intense blue-green to turquoise hues, caused by trace elements such as manganese or rare earth elements. This specimen represents the classic coloration associated with this origin and reflects the high quality for which Sri Lankan gemstones are famous.
