      Apatite Meaning and Healing Properties

      Gemstones are widely popular in the United States and elsewhere, both for their beauty and their healing properties. In America, 85% of gemstones are used in jewelry, allowing wearers to enjoy both beauty and healing properties at the same time.


      Having a full understanding of the gemstones used in your jewelry and rings can enhance your use and understanding of those precious stones. Today, we're going to take a deep dive into the meaning behind the Apatite gemstone, its origin, and more.


      Keep reading to learn everything there is to know about the gorgeous Apatite gemstone.

      The History and Origin of Apatite

      Apatite was given its name back in 1788. Pronounced like the word "appetite", it has nothing to do with desire for food. The word "Apatite" was derived from the Greek word, "apatite," which means, "to deceive." Don't worry--that doesn't mean that this gemstone will make wearers more deceptive!


      Instead, it got this name because it is often mistaken for other gemstones. In fact, Apatite does not refer to one specific gemstone. It is a term that helps us refer to a group of isomorphous hexagonal mineral phosphates that all bear similarities.


      What makes Apatite gemstones truly unique is that they contain calcium phosphate, a material that can be found in the teeth, bones, tusks, and horns of certain animals around the globe. In fact, apatite is said to help in the absorption of calcium.


      While Apatite can be found around the globe, the most common source of Apatite is in Brazil. While small crystals can be found in all types of rocks, you will typically only find larger, well-formed Apatite stones in metamorphic rock. Some Apatite stones have even been collected from moon rocks brought back to Earth by astronauts.

Some Apatite stones have even been collected from moon rocks brought back to Earth by astronauts.

      Apatite Colors

      Why is Apatite often mistaken for other gemstones? This is in large part due to the wide variety of colors Apatite may appear in. 


      In some cases, you can find Apatite in colors such as pink or purple. There are even semi-transparent, colorless Apatite stones. However, it is most commonly going to appear in shades ranging from yellow to green to blue.


      In more recent years, Apatite stones have been discovered bearing "neon" shades. This includes a neon blue, a neon green, and, of course, a neon green-blue.


      Some people feel that certain colors elicit certain meanings. Any shade of Apatite will produce healing and empowering feelings that wearers will benefit from but each color of apatite has its unique meanings and properties with Blue Apatite and Yellow Apatite being the most prominent in today's world.

      Blue Apatite

      Blue Apatite is considered a stone of manifestation because it connects us to both our past and our future and provides the clarity needed to reach an enlightened state. Blue Apatite is known to increase the power of lucid dreaming and many will keep this stone near them while they sleep. In other words, it can help wearers achieve their dreams and goals. This blue stone brings a lot of strength to the mental body and many keep it nearby when sleeping or meditating to heighten their intuition and vision.

      Yellow Apatite

      Also known as Golden Apatite, yellow apatite is meant to bring mental clarity and strength of will. It brings a sunny, spiritual energy that is supposed to instill self-confidence and worth.

      Apatite Meaning

      What kinds of powers does Apatite possess? Ultimately, Apatite is associated closely with the Chakras, providing balancing and healing throughout each Chakra. This is what makes such a powerful and popular gemstone.


      Let's take a closer look at what that healing energy can do for you.

      Communication

      Apatite helps to clear and strengthen the throat chakra, which helps to heal the heart and open the mind to spiritual guidance. This process makes us stronger communicators, both in our personal lives and in business.

      Energy and Focus

      Apatite connects to the Solar Plexus chakra, which, when activated, helps rid the body of both toxins and negative energy. This can alleviate feelings of anger, grudges, and other negative attachments that may slow us down or distract us. In turn, wearers often feel more energized and focused.

      Comfort and Positivity

      Apatite's connection to the heart chakra provides additional healing energy to the heart. Not only can this help with the physical process of digestion, but it can also make us feel a greater sense of comfort and positive energy.

      Peacefulness and Protection

      When our Chakras are cleansed and balanced, we lose the sense of fear or edginess that is so disruptive to our daily lives. This leaves us feeling at peace and safe, lowering things like the fight or flight response to non-dangerous situations.

      Intellect and Creativity

      Apatite has a connection to the Gemini Zodiac sign. This gives Apatite wearers more confidence in their intellect and creativity, allowing them to unlock both and improve self-expression. This is why Apatite is a favorite of academics, writers, musicians, painters, and more.
