Blue Apatite Metaphysical Properties

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals and it is found in several colors such as green, pink, yellow, violet, blue and colorless. The name “apatite” comes from a Greek word with the meaning “cheat” and this name was given because apatite, with its many colors, is easily confused with other minerals.  Though there are few colors, blue apatite is very popular among jewelers and crystal lovers. Hence, the objective of this article is to discuss blue apatite metaphysical properties.

Even though blue apatite is a well-known gemstone, it is relatively low priced. This is mainly due its low hardness and it’s easily found. Hardness of apatite is 5 in the Mohs hardness scale and it is also used as an index mineral in the scale. Apatite is mined Myanmar, Brazil, India, Kenya, Madagascar, Mexico, Norway, Sri Lanka, South Africa and in the United States.

Apatite, a calcium rich mineral, contains “hydroxylapatite”, an important component naturally created in the human body. Hydroxylapatite is present in the pineal gland, bones and teeth enamel.

The energy healing with apatite is therefore is used to treat issues with imbalances in the pineal gland, bones and teeth related issues.

Apatite energy is used to remove excess fluorite and calcium in the pineal gland and this can improve sleeping issues as well as issue related to sexual maturity.

An accumulation of matter inside the body is called concretions. Apatite healing reduces these concretions created with excess calcium and fluorite and helps to re-balance the bone building and metabolic processes.

Excess of calcium in the body also cause high blood pressure which can also be reduce with blue apatite.

Just like other dark blue stones, apatite is also associated with activating the psychological power.

Hence this is a great stone to have with you if you are planning on taking spiritual path in order to develop the mind.

When trying to develop the mind, it is important to distinguish actual development vs the deceptions (Our mind tends to show us illusions when working with it).  Apatite will help you to see the imaginary work of the mind and separate it from the true status.

The stone is also known to purify the aura of the mental body making it even more attractive for spiritual work. Apatite also acts as a healing stone by helping to restore damages in the mental body.

There is a strong correlation between psychic powers and creativity. Hence, the stone also stimulates the great creative power in the mind and it is also considered as one of the best for improving creativity.

The stone also encourages the creative subconscious problem solving skills in dreams as well. Some believe that placing a blue apatite stone under the pillow will further enhance its ability to influence dreams with creative energy.

If you are a reserved and close person, apatite will help you to be more open and social. It also helps to remove negative emotions such as grief and temper.
