APATITE
A rare gem: Apatite
Apatite is not frequently used as a gemstone. As a mineral, it has various uses. It is used, for example, in toothpaste. It has many properties that suit industrial purposes, but to find it used in ornamentation such as jewelry is the exception rather than the rule.
Because it is not employed in jewelry that often, you might just consider purchasing a gift that from our range of handmade jewelry on the site that uses apatite within the cladding if you’re looking for an unusual or quirky present. You will find a number of stylish items of apatite jewelry here, including an apatite sterling bracelet.
There are different kinds of apatite stone. A transparent green stone made from apatite is called asparagus stone. Chatoyant, yet another example, is known by the moniker cat’s eye apatite. A cat’s eye effect can be given off in apatite when rutile crystals have been growing in the apatite crystals. This results in a cat’s eye phenomenon when the stone has been cut. In the right light, the effect can be dazzling.
Not all of the range that uses apatite will be quite as dazzling and is a little moe subtle. Blue stones, for example, are called moroxite. We have blue apatite beads in stock. These bead sets are an original and quirky gift, and seeing as all of our stock is handmade, it is all the more original as it hasn’t come off the assembly line.
