Blue Apatite Crystals For Sale From Madagascar

This gorgeous Blue Apatite Crystal Pebble (also known as a Blue Apatite Crystal Palm Stone) measures 5.5cm long and displays a mixture of bright blue hues which shimmer and sparkle in the light. 

This Blue Apatite Crystal has been carefully cut and polished into a tactile, smooth oval crystal pebble shape or crystal palm stone shape, and its gorgeous blue colouring contrasts beautiful against the blue shades of other blue crystals and gemstones. 

As this mineral is difficult to cut into a gem, a specimen of high-quality Blue Apatite like this piece is difficult to acquire. 

Please note: this piece displays natural pits and crystal cavities on its otherwise smooth, polished surface. 

Where Does Blue Apatite Come From?

Apatite is found in many regions around the world, including Brazil, India, and Russia.

Our Blue Apatite Crystals, including this piece, are crystals from Madagascar, a country renowned for its high-quality Blue Apatite specimens. 

Madagascar is an island off the coast of Africa known for its unparalleled riches of fossils and crystals. 

What Is Blue Apatite Made Of?

Blue Apatite is a type of Apatite, which is a phosphate mineral that forms in different colours, including Blue Apatite and Green Apatite. 

Interestingly, there is another form of Apatite which is a fundamental material of bones and the enamel in our teeth. 

Apatite is a brittle mineral, therefore you need high-quality rough Blue Apatite Stone to be able to cut and polish it into polished crystal shapes such as this polished crystal palm stone. 

Blue Apatite History

The name Apatite comes from a Greek word meaning 'to deceive': the mineral was named this because Apatite is often mistaken for other minerals. 

Blue Apatite Uses 

Apatite is used for various purposes, and is not limited to simply being used as a gemstone.

As Apatite is a phosphate mineral, it is a phosphate rich rock than can be used as source for phosphorus, which is used to make fertiliser. 

The Apatite rock is also sometimes ground to create pigments which can be used in painting. 

Apatite is also a minor ore for certain rare metals and materials. 

Blue Apatite Crystal Healing Properties

Blue Apatite is considered to be a deeply spiritual Crystal Healing Stone, and purports to have a calming, cleansing aura.

This blue semi precious stone is thought to be particularly useful in boosting intelligence and personal growth. 

Many crystal healers believe that Blue Apatite can be used to help one reach clarity of mind and to be able to solve problems and reach goals, much like other blue crystals, including Lapis Lazuli, Sodalite, and Amazonite. 

Blue Apatite Chakras

Blue Apatite Crystals resonate powerfully with the Third Eye Chakra and the Throat Chakra. 

Blue Apatite: Throat Chakra Stone

When Blue Apatite is used as a Throat Chakra Crystal, this blue gemstone is believed to help the user communicate more clearly and feel more confidence when speaking.  

Blue Apatite: Third Eye Chakra Stone

When Blue Apatite is used as a Third Eye Chakra Crystal, it is said to enhance psychic powers and aid lucid dreaming. 

How Hard Is Blue Apatite? 

Apatite measures 5 on the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness, which means that it is a somewhat delicate, soft mineral which is susceptible to scratching, although it is a harder mineral than Calcite and Fluorite. 

Great care should be taken not to damage the crystal surface.

Blue Apatite Crystal Care

Apatite is renowned for being a very brittle mineral, and it can therefore easily crack and break if not handled and cleansed with care. 

It is best to avoid soaking Blue Apatite in water because of the risk of water damage, but if you do, minimise the risk of damage by only submerging the stone in water for a short period of time and avoiding using salt water. 

To cleanse your Blue Apatite Crystal, simply use a little bit of water and dry with a cloth afterwards.
