Mineralogical Properties

Apatite is a calcium phosphate (Ca₅(PO₄)₃(F,Cl,OH)) and belongs to the group of phosphates. Its name is derived from the Greek "apatao" (to deceive) - because due to its high color diversity, it was and is easily confused with other minerals. Apatite displays an exceptional color palette: colorless, brown, yellow, blue, green, rarely also pink and violet. The yellowish-green variety is also called "asparagus stone". Its Mohs hardness is 5 - meaning apatite is somewhat more delicate than many other gemstones and should be treated with care accordingly. It crystallizes in the hexagonal system and shows a characteristic glassy luster. Apatite is widespread worldwide; important deposits include: USA, Russia, Mexico, Canada, Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Brazil, China, Morocco, Switzerland, Pakistan.
