Green Apatite 6.1x4.2x2.7mm .85CT TW Brilliant 2x Facer Oval From Africa Grade AAA 


Green apatite is a vibrant phosphate mineral composed of calcium phosphate that ranges from pale mint to deep forest green. Known for its glass-like luster, it is prized in crystal healing for manifesting abundance and balancing the heart chakra. Because it ranks at 5 on the Mohs hardness scale, it requires protective jewelry settings. 

Key Properties & Uses
  • Colors: Ranges from light apple-green to deep forest green, caused by trace amounts of iron and manganese. 
  • Hardness: 5 on the Mohs scale. It is too soft for everyday rings without protective bezels, but makes excellent earrings, pendants, and pins. 
  • Crystal Healing: Believed to stimulate the heart and throat chakras, promoting clear communication, personal growth, and emotional healing. 


Sourcing & Care

Green apatite is found globally, with major deposits located in Brazil, Madagascar, Mexico, Canada, and Myanmar. The neon blue-green varieties (often found in Madagascar) are highly sought after by collectors and can rival the look of rare Paraiba tourmaline. 

Because it is a softer stone, you should avoid harsh ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and abrasive chemicals. It is best to clean your green apatite jewelry using only warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
