Apatite is a quite a rare tourmaline variety. It is named for the Greek word ‘apatao’, which means to deceive. due to many people mistaking it for other minerals such as Peridot and Beryl. The most beautiful (and for metaphysical use) Apatite stones are usually teal, yellow, or green in colour. Apatite in teal colour resembles the colour of the sea, which is popular among buyers and collectors. Grey and brown Apatite are also available.
Green Apatite has been known to grow off other crystal masses such as Orange Calcite
