This time: apatite. A gemstone with beautiful color, bright energy and a name you secretly keep mispronouncing. In this blog I briefly share what apatite stands for as well as show you how I incorporated this beautiful gemstone into my jewelry.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the Apatite Gemstone?<\/h3>\n<p>Apatite is a mineral that is usually blue or blue-green &#8211; a bit of a tropical and summer feel gives this beautiful gemstone. Known for its fresh energy, the apatite gemstone is often referred to as a &#8220;stone of inspiration and focus. Whether you have a thing for it or not: the color alone is reason enough to be inspired by it.<\/p>\n<h3>Little Apatite gemstone facts (if you like trivia)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hardness:<\/strong> 5<br \/>Apatite is somewhat softer than most gemstones. No disaster, as long as you treat your jewelry with care.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Growth system:<\/strong> hexagonal<br \/>In other words, the crystal grows in hexagons. You can&#8217;t see this on the outside of the gemstone, but still nice to know.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transparency:<\/strong> transparent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apatite is derived from the Greek word Apate, which means deception\/delusion. The Gemstone gets its name because of its interchangeability with other gemstones such as beryl, andalusite and topaz.<\/p>\n<p>The deposits of the apatite gemstone include: Brazil, Burma, India, Kenya, Madagascar, Mexico, Norway, Sri Lanka, USA and South Africa.<\/p>\n<h3>Why I like to use Apatite in my jewelry<\/h3>\n<p>Personally, I love the color of the apatite so much! With this gemstone, I really get a summer feeling because of its beautiful teal color. Because of its beautiful and striking color, I personally find the apatite very nice to combine with silver. But in the wide flower ring I made in it, the blue-green apatite is set in a 14-karat yellow gold setting. And that too gives a very nice effect.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1469355385\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1870096986\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1071746988\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner box-shadow-3 dark\" style=\"margin:0px 0px 20px 0px;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cobaja.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Edelsteen-spotlight-apatiet-576x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cobaja.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Edelsteen-spotlight-apatiet-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/www.cobaja.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Edelsteen-spotlight-apatiet-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/www.cobaja.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Edelsteen-spotlight-apatiet-768x1365.png 768w, https:\/\/www.cobaja.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Edelsteen-spotlight-apatiet-864x1536.png 864w, https:\/\/www.cobaja.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Edelsteen-spotlight-apatiet-1000x1778.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.cobaja.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Edelsteen-spotlight-apatiet.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1071746988 {\n  width: 40%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<h3>Jewelry with Apatite in the shop<\/h3>\n<p>Have you become curious about this beautiful gemstone?
