DID YOU KNOW

Derived from the Greek apate, meaning 'deceit', it bears an uncanny similarity - and was often mistaken for - crystals such as aquamarine, amethyst and peridot. Apatite is an important source of phosphorous, a chemical used in matches. Apatite appears in a range of colours and like most other minerals the colour depends on the additional minerals found where the gemstone grows.

APATITE: A BRIEF HISTORY

Spanish apatite is often referred to as 'asparagus stone', due to its yellowish green colour. Beautiful blue stones are found in the Mogok Stone Tract of Myanmar and in the gem gravels of Sri Lanka, some of which have a fibrous structure and, when cut en cabochon in the correct direction, display a 'cat's eye' effect.

MEANING BEHIND THE STONE

Thought to ease hypertension and decrease ones hunger, or appetite, it is also thought to help when you are having difficulty letting go of someone or something that is no longer good for you.
