Apatite

Creativity, Communication, Focus

Apatite is composed of phosphate minerals hydroxyapatite, fluorapatite, and chlorapatite grouped together into the crystal. Because it can occur in various colors and shapes, this stone is often mistaken for other stones. For this reason, its name is derived from apatein, the Greek word meaning ‘to be misleading’. It is found in metamorphic, sedimentary, igneous, and volcanic rocks. Apatite is said to stimulate ideas as well as help to increase intellect, focus and imagination. This stone is thought to help build confidence and aid in communication.
