Apatite


Previously used as a source of phosphate, Apatite beads are typically used as gemstones in Apatite jewelry due to their heat sensitivity, brittleness and lack of hardness.

Found in areas such as Brazil, Canada, India, Madagascar and Mozambique, Apatite beads are said to ease stress and reduce nervous tension. Various colors make up this transparent mineral—including yellow, green and blue apatite beads.

Not found in jewelry stores until recently, collectors are known to cherish these yellow, green and blue Apatite beads because of its many forms and shades. Apatite jewelry is certainly found at A Grain of Sand! Browse for your selection below.
