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 based it on the fact that apatite looks very similar to other stones, such as topaz or beryl.

Apatite is also known under the following names:
Abukumalite, Augustite, Belovite, Britolite, Davisonite, Dahlite, Dehrnite, Ellestadite, Francolite, Collophane, Lewistonite, Mangualdite, Moroxite, Nauruite, Podolite, Phosphorite, Queryct, Sombrerit, Asparagusstein, Staffelite or Wilkeit.


Mineralogy and formation of apatite
Apatite is a generic term for a group of minerals that share a chemical similarity. They consist of minerals and trace elements such as magnesium, iron, phosphate, fluorine or calcium and are divided into fluorapatite, chlorapatite and hydroxyapatite. The mode of formation can be divided into primary, secondary or tertiary or into 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 and appears there as a small, brilliant diamond.


Apatite is said to have healing powers primarily because it contains minerals that are also found in the human body. It can work on both a physical and a mental level.
Effect on the body

The principle of action with regard to 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 intended to contribute to healthy sleeping and eating habits. It helps to utilize food better and, thanks to its calcium phosphate, promotes the absorption of calcium from daily food. Overall, the stone helps to generate more life energy by promoting regeneration of the body. In addition, apatite has a positive influence on the kidneys and urinary bladder. It can also be used as a supportive therapeutic agent for numerous complaints that affect the 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 for lethargy, melancholy, lack of desire and interest, states of exhaustion and listlessness. It can also have a positive effect on sadness, grief and worries. Apatite is therefore a real comforter for the soul, which is particularly suitable as an additional measure for depression. On a mental level, it is a useful supporter in overcoming challenges and difficulties and in solving problems. It helps to see things more clearly, but also to work with more intellectual vision and creativity.
