Apatite is a calcium phosphate and quite a rare tourmaline variety. It comes in many colours and forms, and it’s often confused with many other minerals, such as Aquamarine and Fluorite. It can be opaque, translucent, or transparent. Its colours range from white to greenish yellow, brown and violet! In recent times blue apatite has increased in popularity whilst yellow apatite has declined in popularity. It’s named for the Greek word ‘apatao’, which means to deceive. This is because it’s chemical composition almost imitates the chemical composition of many other stones. A combination of different levels of fluorine, chlorine, and hydroxide, the Apatite crystal ranges in color from deep blue-green to green to yellow and sometimes pink or violet. The Apatite crystal contains the same elements that make up our tooth enamel, making it an excellent healing aide for dental issues and mending broken bones.
