A very special shimmer on this apatite!
When you start to look into the topic of crystals and gemstones, it can be a little overwhelming at first. What makes the small and large energy stones so special? Which one is right for me and what effect is it known for? And what do I do with it? Don't worry, we felt the same way at the beginning. The first thing you need to know: you can't really go wrong. Gemstones can be easily integrated into your everyday life.
Gemstones are considered to be powerful companions, especially in a time when we spend most of our day looking at small screens. We quickly forget the world around us and feel disconnected - from nature, our fellow human beings and ultimately ourselves.
Even if you quickly forget it because of the dazzling colors and unusual cuts: gemstones come from nature. They are formed from magma in the earth's interior or through high pressure on a rock and can transfer this energy to us. It often takes many thousands of years for a stone to penetrate to the earth's surface.
The stone that you are finally holding in your hands is many years older and carries a lot of wisdom and power within it. Let this thought ground you, arrive in the moment and look not only into the future, but also at what has already happened. This is the only way we can learn.
Whether you just wear your new companion and let it work its magic on you ~ or use it for rituals and ceremonies is now in your hands.
The name apatite comes from ancient Greek (apatáo) and means something like "to deceive" or "to deceive". Abraham Gottlob Werner, a German geologist, coined this name and justified it by the fact that apatite looks very similar to other stones, such as topaz or beryl.
Apatite is also known under the following names:
Abukumalite, auguscite, belovite, britolith, davisonite, dahlite, dehrnite, ellestadite, francolith, collophane, lewistonite, mangualdite, moroxite, nauruite, podolith, phosphorite, queryct, sombrerite, asparagusstone, staggerite or wilkeit.
Mineralogy and formation of apatite
Apatite is a generic term for a group of minerals that are chemically similar. They consist of minerals and trace elements such as magnesium, iron, phosphate, fluorine or calcium and are divided into fluorapatite, chlorapatite and hydroxyapatite. The formation process can be divided into primary, secondary or tertiary, or liquid-magmatic, pneumatolytic or hydrothermal. In alpine fissures, apatite develops tabular, spherical to prismatic crystals or a water-clear surface. It can also form in cellular feldspars, where it appears as a small, brilliant diamond.
Apatite Application
Apatite is most effective as a healing stone when placed on the throat chakra. It can also be used on the heart chakra. Here it is used in meditation to return to past lives. It also provides warmth and balance and helps with overcoming problems.
With apatite, direct physical contact is the most important thing, which means that it is placed on the affected part of the body for a longer period of time. But be careful, rough stones often have very sharp edges and are therefore excluded from the treatment. Tumbled stones are more suitable, as their texture makes them feel pleasant and comfortable on the skin. The healing stone can also be placed in drinking water and thus enter the body. It is also possible to use the gemstone water externally. Overall, apatite is considered to be a very well-tolerated healing stone, and its effects become quite intense when used regularly.
Effects of apatite
Apatite is said to have healing powers because it contains minerals that are also found in the human body. It can work on both a physical and a spiritual or mental level.
Effect on the body
The principle of action on the human body is based on the substance contained in apatite, phosphate. The healing stone can help to mobilize energy sources and reserves. It is said to contribute to healthy sleeping and eating habits. It helps to make better use of food and, thanks to its calcium phosphate, promotes the absorption of calcium from daily food. Overall, the stone helps to increase life energy by promoting the body's regeneration. Apatite also has a positive effect on the kidneys and bladder. It can also be used as a supportive therapeutic agent for numerous complaints affecting joints, bones, neck, skin or digestion.
Effect on the mind and the spiritual level
Apatite has a similar effect on the psyche as it does on the body. It can help to reactivate the flow of energy and is effective against lethargy, melancholy, lack of interest and desire, exhaustion and lack of motivation. It can also have a positive effect on sadness, grief and worry. Apatite is therefore a true comforter of the soul, which is particularly suitable as an additional measure for depression. On a mental level, it is a useful support in dealing with challenges and difficulties and in solving problems. It helps to see things more clearly, but also to work with more intellectual foresight and creativity.
Apatite chakra and zodiac sign assignment
Chakra therapy or chakra meditation is based on the assumption that gemstones, for example, have powerful energy. There are a total of seven main chakras that have a special vibration frequency and help to channel valuable energy into the body and release energy blockages. Apatite can be assigned to the throat and heart chakras and does its full energy work there. The main stone's constellation is Sagittarius. It gives people with this constellation a better self-esteem, breaks down inhibitions and helps to find and maintain inner balance.
