Blue apatite belongs to the apatite family. It is a little-known fine stone with no legend associated with it. Known for being a stone of learning, it is also an excellent source of inspiration. By wearing this stone, it is possible to extract all negative energy and thus stimulate creativity, ambition, and especially motivation. With different aspects and colors, apatite was often confused with several other minerals. Finally, its chemical composition was only established towards the end of the 18th century. Thus, in 1786, the German mineralogist geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner, one of the creators of mineralogy, named this stone apatite. This name is inspired by the Greek "apatan" meaning to deceive. In Greek mythology, Apaté is one of the evils that emerged from Pandora's box. It is actually the God of deception, fraud, and trickery. A little reminder: Pandora's box is a box given by Zeus to Pandora, on the condition that she does not open it. This box contained all the evils of humanity, namely, disease, war, old age, famine, misery, madness, vice, etc. But Pandora could not resist and opened it, releasing all these evils on earth. Thus, this apatite is a highly appreciated gem due to its shades of blue: very pure turquoise blue, more or less dark blue. Gem-quality apatite is an ideal stone for original jewelry. Indeed, it can be cut into faceted stones or cabochons. This stone is a source of phosphorus, commonly used in the chemical industry and can even be found in the composition of artificial fertilizers. It is found in many types of magmatic, sedimentary, metamorphic rocks. Moreover, during the Apollo space program, NASA astronauts brought back lunar rocks in which traces of apatite were found. It should be noted that apatite is a calcium phosphate. Thus, it is the only mineral present in the human body, and in animals. It is found at 65% in our nails, teeth, and enamel, in crystalline form. The age of this mineral can be established thanks to the tiny amount of uranium it contains. In lithotherapy, blue apatite is commonly nicknamed the stone of hypersensitive people.
