Blue apatite belongs to the apatite family. It is a very little known fine stone and has no legend linked to it. Known to be a learning stone, it is also an excellent source of inspiration. By wearing this stone, it is possible to extract all of one's negative energy and thus stimulate one's creativity, ambition and above all motivation.

With different appearances and colors, apatite was widely confused with several other minerals. Finally, its chemical composition was not established until 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, Apate is one of the evils that emerges from Pandora's box. He is actually the God of trickery, fraud and deception. A little reminder: Pandora's box is a box offered by Zeus to Pandora, on the condition that she does not open it. This box contained all the evils of humanity, namely, illness, war, old age, famine, misery, madness, vice, etc. But Pandora could not resist and opened it, which released all these evils on earth.

Thus, this apatite is a very popular gem because of 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 a faceted stone or cabochon.

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 rocks of magmatic, sedimentary, metamorphic types. 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, animals. It is found at 65% in our nails, teeth and enamel, in a crystalline state. The age of this mineral can be established thanks to the tiny amount of uranium it possesses.

In lithotherapy, blue apatite is commonly nicknamed the stone of the hypersensitive. It allows the regulation of emotions and facilitates letting go. It has balancing virtues, so people feeling excessive emotions can find calm and serenity. The wearers of this stone can thus have objective and logical reflections. This stone is used to remove psychological barriers and release repressed emotions.

Indeed, revealing one's sorrow, one's sadness can be considered as acts of weakness while they are liberating acts. It is essential for the well-being of our mind to evacuate them, which allows, subsequently, to better understand them and to better manage them. In fact, by dint of repressing emotions, a kind of shell forms in which it is easy to hide. The blue apatite stone will gradually break this shell. Releasing one's negative emotions opens the mind to a certain appeasement. This promotes the circulation of our positive energies.

In addition, blue apatite helps us develop our sense of listening and understanding. It is a stone that is well suited to creative people such as artists or craftsmen, because it facilitates inspiration. It is an excellent support for facing buried fears and overcoming shyness, it gives self-confidence. People in full doubt will thus find the strength to face the challenges of everyday life.
