Blue Apatite History

The name Apatite comes from a Greek word meaning 'to deceive': Apatite was thus named because this mineral is often mistaken for other minerals. 

Blue Apatite Uses 

Apatite is used for various purposes, and is not limited to simply being used as a gemstone.

As Apatite is a phosphate mineral, it is a phosphate rich rock than can be used as source for phosphorus, which makes fertiliser. 

This rock is also sometimes ground to create pigments which can be used in painting. 

Apatite is also a minor ore for certain rare metals and materials. 

Blue Apatite Crystal Healing Powers

Many crystal healers believe that Blue Apatite can be used to help one reach clarity of mind and to be able to solve problems and reach goals. 

Blue Apatite Chakras

This blue stone is heavily associated with the Third Eye Chakra and the Throat Chakra. 

When used with the Third Eye Chakra, it is said to enhance psychic powers and aid lucid dreaming. 

When used with the Throat Chakra, this blue gem is believed to help the user communicate more clearly and feel more confidence when speaking.  

How Hard Is Blue Apatite? 

Measuring 5 on the Mohs scale, this mineral is relatively soft and susceptible to scratching, so care should be taken not to damage the crystal surface. 

However, this stone is not particularly fragile when compared to other stones such as Calcites. 

To clean the crystal, simply use water and dry it afterwards with a soft cloth.
