Apatite Meanings
Chakras, Element, Zodiac Sign and Number: Depends on colour, see Blue Apatite and Green Apatite descriptions.
Green Apatite is believed to carry an uplifting energy which dispels apathy, negativity and confusion, similarly it can help us to align with higher knowledge and truth. It may assist with gaining a higher perspective on situations and finding creative solutions to problems. Green Apatite is also referred to as "bones of the earth" and is believed to be a powerful stone to work with when healing the earth. It has been known to aid in connecting with the planet's electromagnetic field or communicating with birds and animals. It is believed to give a heart centred focus which inspires a humanitarian approach of service to others and may aid in manifesting these humanitarian aspirations into healing, knowledge, communication and teaching.
This mineral was often mistaken for Tourmaline, Olivine, Peridot, Topaz and Beryl. So, it was named in 1786 by the German geologist Abraham Werner, from the Greek word 'apatein' which means to be deceptive. Translucent gemstone quality Apatite is rare. However, it is found in a range of colours including blue, green, yellow, violet, red, clear and a rutilated chatoyant form called cats eye. Apatite is composed of calcium phosphate, the mineral which makes up both tooth enamel and bones in vertebrate animals. Some moon rocks collected by astronauts on the Appollo missions have been found to contain Apatite. It is used commercially as a fertiliser because of its high phosphate content and in explosives, fireworks, pesticides, toothpaste, detergents and pharmaceutical products.
Apatite is a calcium phosphate mineral with a trigonal crystal system and a hardness of 5. It is found around the world but the largest deposits are in Russia.

Jewellery Warranty & Care
When crafted into jewellery, some crystals are more hardy than others.
For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6.
Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals.
Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. These are best as occasion pieces.
Store safely, and clean with care.
Rest assured that our 1-year jewellery warranty covers any manufacturing defects.
