Natural blue apatite sphere

Discovering the apatite stone

Ionic minerals, such as chlorapatite, fluorapatite, and hydroxyapatite, are collectively known as apatites. A vast range of colours, ranging from yellow to electric blue, has made apatite very difficult to catalog and often confused with other minerals. The term apatite in fact derives from the Greek verb apatáo (I deceive) wanting to underline its deceptive nature.

Natural apatite shimmers in intense hues with a balanced shine. You can enjoy a varied splendor depending on the size, purity, color saturation and quality of the facet. The polishing of apatite itself represents a real challenge for gem cutters. A well-polished and expertly cut apatite is a gem of great value.

In crystal therapy, apatite is known for its stimulation of the personal power to achieve goals. It eliminates confusion, apathy and negativity and stimulates the intellect to expand knowledge and truth which can be used for personal growth or collective good.
