Personal Note From Natural Gems Belgium:

This oval-shaped blue apatite, weighing 1.99 ct, is unheated and features minor chipping on the underside. As a result, its clarity levels are comparable to that of an I3 grade. The stone has a fair to good cut, fair symmetry, and poor to fair polish, with a vitreous luster.
