Blue Apatite is a calcium phosphate mineral known for its striking colour, which ranges from a light, serene blue to a deep teal-blue, often reminiscent of clear tropical waters. It typically possesses a glassy or vitreous lustre. Due to its frequent confusion with other, more common minerals, the name Apatite derives from the Greek word apatein, meaning "to deceive." When cut and polished, it makes for beautiful jewellery, though care must be taken due to its moderate hardness.

Blue Apatite is known as the "Stone of Manifestation and Inspiration." It works strongly on the mental plane, stimulating the intellect and enhancing both clarity and concentration, making it a great stone for learners and thinkers. It holds a highly motivating energy, boosting creativity and promoting a decisive, goal-centred approach to life. By stimulating the Throat Chakra, it encourages honest, clear, and open communication, empowering the user to speak their truth with confidence and integrity.

Hardness: 5 on the Mohs scale (making it relatively soft; caution is advised when setting it into jewellery).

Chakra: Primarily the Throat Chakra (for communication and truth) and the Third Eye Chakra (for mental clarity and intuition).

Zodiac Sign: Gemini. It is also associated with all those born under the signs of air and water.

Benefits: Enhances mental clarity, concentration, and intellectual capacity, boosts motivation and aids in focused manifestation, facilitates clear, truthful communication, suppresses unnecessary cravings, and promotes spiritual growth and attunement.
