The small stones of this inexpensive apatite strand (stab.) are about 2-4mm thick and have a diameter of 5-8mm, the whole gemstone strand is 40cm long.
Apatite is used in stone healing to promote motivation, self-reliance and determination - the mineral can help to get out of apathy.
The name apatite is derived from the Greek word "apatáo" meaning "to deceive" and was coined in 1786 by German mineralogist Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749 - 1817). Since apatite occurs in numerous different forms and colors, there is a great danger that apatite will be mistaken for another mineral. Spellings like apartith, apathite, apatite, appatite or apatiet are not correct.
