Apatite Meaning?
The word "apatite" derives from the Greek word "apate," meaning "to deceive". It's deceptive because it resembles many other minerals like Paraiba tourmaline. Apatite belongs to the phosphate mineral group and comes primarily from Brazil, Madagascar, and Mexico.
While apatite is not as well-known as gems like ruby and emerald, its value is comparable to - if not greater than - many renowned gemstones, thanks to its unique attributes.
Apatite comes in various fabulous colors — vibrant blues, greens, yellows, and purples. That's why it's such a versatile and eye-catching choice for jewelry. Plus, it possesses a unique charm that sets it apart.
The Spiritual Significance of Apatite
Some people believe that apatite has psychic abilities, expanding knowledge and easing communication between the spiritual and physical realms. For this reason, it's sometimes called “the stone of manifestation”.
In addition, this extraordinary gemstone is associated with clarity, inspiration, and personal growth. And in many cultures, people use apatite to enhance intuition, uncover hidden truths, and bring balance to life.
Interesting Facts About Apatite
Historically, apatite wasn't widely utilized, as evidenced by the limited number of beads and amulets found in archaeological excavations in the Middle-East and Africa. However, its contemporary relevance was established in 1786 when it was researched and subsequently named by the German geologist, Gottlob Werner.
Apatite, a collection of phosphate-based minerals, is prevalent in nature, within the human anatomy as bone minerals and tooth enamel, and surprisingly, in lunar rocks returned to Earth by Apollo space explorers. However, it's exceedingly unusual to find apatite with a gemstone-quality transparency.
Incorporating Apatite Into Your Style
One of the most enchanting aspects of apatite is its versatility. Whether you prefer a minimalist or bold aesthetic, apatite can complement your style through earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings.
But should you add apatite to your jewelry collection? Due to its softness (5 on the Mohs scale of softness), apatite is not appropriate for setting in rings, since they can be exposed to more daily wear and tear than jewelry like earrings and charms/pendants.
We will showcase two exquisite apatite jewelry pieces to demonstrate why apatite should be your next must-have accessory — the Palace Tiger Eye Drops earrings and the elegant Shield Charm.
