Apatite Necklace

The apatite necklace is a jewel that surprises with its blue. This luminous, fresh, sometimes almost neon blue-green has a vivacity that immediately catches the eye. Worn as a necklace, apatite is naturally found close to the throat chakra, exactly where it works best. This is an ideal placement for this stone, one of whose main virtues is to facilitate communication and the clear expression of ideas. Apatite owes its name to the Greek *apatan* (to deceive), as it has long been confused with more well-known stones such as tourmaline or aquamarine due to the diversity of its colors.

In lithotherapy, the apatite necklace is renowned for its properties of motivation, mental clarity, and communication. It is a stone that helps to formulate ideas clearly, to find the motivation to achieve one's goals, and to free oneself from confused or scattered thoughts. Worn around the neck, it simultaneously works on the throat chakra (expression) and the third eye chakra (concentration and intuition). It is recommended for students during exam periods, for people who have to speak in public, and for those who need to refocus on their priorities. Tradition also attributes to it an appetite-suppressant effect that supports dietary rebalancing efforts. Apatite pairs well with sodalite (enhanced mental clarity), amethyst (concentration and calm), or rock crystal (amplification). For care, clean your necklace with clear water and recharge it in moonlight. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight. With a hardness of 5 on the Mohs scale, apatite is soft; remove your necklace before showering and exercising.
