Apatite is a calcium phosphate, and a very rare variety of tourmaline, which was discovered in the 1990's. The name apatite comes from the word deceiver in Greek because it is very easily mistaken for other stones, like tourmaline and beryl. With a hardness on the Mohs scale of only 5, it is rarely faceted as a gemstone, except for collectors. When cut correctly, stones are bright with strong colours. Apatite occurs in what has been described as neon colours, colours never seen before in jewellery. Because of these shockingly bright colours, the stone became popular overnight. It occurs in various shades of yellow, green, grey, blue, white, purple, pink, brown, red-brown, violet and colourless, as well as in cat's eye form. It has become popular because some of the striking blue and green colours resemble those of the highly prized Paraiba tourmaline.
Apatite is found in many countries including the Kola Peninsula in Russia, and various locations in Canada, East Africa, Sweden, Spain and Mexico. A yellowish green variety of Apatite found in Spain is often called the asparagus stone because of its colour. Apatite has been said to bring its wearer many beneficial qualities. It aids the immune system and cleanses the glandular, lymphatic and meridian systems. Psychologically, it detoxifies negative emotions relating to self-image. It helps the wearer to accept love, comfort, support, and self-love
