Apatite has a beautiful quality, even though its level of hardness is low. This type of stones are a rarity due to the lack of sufficient size or desirable conditions required for distribution as gemstones. The multifaceted cut of an apatite can shine brilliantly in yellow, green, blue and other colors. They are also used in accessories that can accommodate small stones.
The name is derived from the Greek word apate, meaning ‘deception.' It is named so because it comes in various forms and causes confusion as it closely resembles many other types of minerals.
