Blue Apatite Natural Twin Point Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant

Blue Apatite Natural Twin Point Claw Set Sterling Silver Pendant (shop SKU SBAPATP59) is offered as a pendant online and at the bookshop on West 14th Street.

Blue apatite is a phosphate mineral, sometimes cut to show a cat's-eye effect. It is softer than quartz, so it is best worn with some care.

Sterling silver is 92.5% silver, often stamped .925; like all silver, it can tarnish over time and can be brightened with a soft polishing cloth. The title describes a claw (prong) setting that holds the stone. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
