The mineral Apatite has several forms and many uses.
In addition to Apatite Beads for jewelry, this substance has agricultural, dental and electronic uses.
The name Apatite comes from the Greek word ‘apatao,’ which means ‘deceitful’, because this group of minerals can look like so many others.
Apatite Gemstone Beads come from all over the world, including the United States, Brazil, Canada and Sri Lanka.
Apatite Gemstone Beads come in many colors, but blue, green, yellow, brown and clear are the most common.

The color of this Apatite is similar to beautiful tropical waters.
The sea green brilliance of this stone is easily accentuated with silver beads and/or pearls.
This stone is best used in earrings and a necklace because, with its Mohs rating of 5, comparable to the hardness of teeth, it can be easily scratched.

Apatite is brilliant hung from a necklace or earrings.
The color reflects wonderful crystal blue resembling water, which is calming, especially in the dining area.
