The Cardinal Lozenge Cut is one of many beautiful faceting patterns created by Edith Strout. Apatite from this location is strongly dichroic. This piece of apatite shows individual blue and green color components as the gemstone is rotated. Unlike the neon blue and green faceted Madagascar apatites currently on the gemstone market, this gem has not been enhanced (e.g. treated) in any way. Apatite is a soft material that requires the skill of an expert metalsmith to be set without damage.
