What is Apatite?
Apatite is a calcium phosphate — the same mineral family that makes up our teeth and bones. It occurs in blue, green, yellow and purple, as six-sided crystals or massive pieces.
Blue apatite from Madagascar and green apatite are the most popular in the crystal trade; India also has apatite deposits. It is fairly soft, so it is mostly supplied raw, tumbled and as beads.
