About Apatite:
Apatite is a fascinating mineral known for its wide range of colors, though it's most prized in shades of blue and green. The name "apatite" comes from the Greek word "apatein," meaning "to deceive," because it was often mistaken for other minerals due to its varied appearances.
Blue apatite, like the one in this pendant, gets its beautiful color from the presence of rare earth elements within its crystal structure. It's a relatively soft stone, ranking 5 on the Mohs scale of hardness, which means it's best suited for pendants, earrings, and pieces that aren't subject to daily impact.
Apatite is found in various locations around the world, including Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Madagascar, and the United States. The specific shade and clarity can vary depending on its origin. This particular stone exhibits the classic vibrant blue that makes apatite so sought after.
