Apatite
Apatite in lithotherapy
Apatite belongs to the phosphate family. Apatite takes its name from the ancient Greek "apatan" which means "to deceive" because it is often confused with other stones, especially topaz. It is especially sought after for its slimming properties, as it reduces the feeling of hunger and helps to channel emotions and therefore to act in a more thoughtful way.
There are a multitude of varieties of apatites in a wide variety of colors. But the most sought-after variety is undoubtedly the blue apatite, the most beautiful deposits of which are found in Madagascar.
Virtues and benefits of apatite
Apatite is mainly used to calm tension and overcome emotional turmoil. Its calming properties are ideal for people with excessive emotions that too often push them to make impulsive decisions. Apatite is also recommended for artists that it helps them creatively, making it easier for them to find a style that is unique to them. The Apatite stone has gradually gained a reputation as a "slimming stone". It is said to be beneficial for weight loss, as it reduces hunger and stimulates the digestive system. It is also said to be invigorating for bones and joints, as it helps the body absorb calcium from our diet.
How do you purify and recharge apatite?
Apatite is compatible with all purification and recharging techniques. To purify your jewelry or stones rolled in Apatite, you can, for example, immerse them for a few hours in water (ideally demineralized or slightly salted), then wipe them with a clean cloth. To recharge them, expose them to sunlight for 2 to 3 hours. Apatite can also recharge when placed on a rock crystal or amethyst cluster.
