Apatite Gemstone - Gemstones TV

Apatite derives its name from the Greek word "apatein," meaning "to deceive," owing to its tendency to resemble other minerals. Comprising a group of phosphate minerals, Apatite is abundantly found in various geological settings across the globe. It occurs in a spectrum of colors, including vibrant blues, greens, yellows, and purples, with occasional colorless and transparent specimens. This diversity in color results from the presence of different chemical elements within its crystal structure.
