History

Apatite's name is derived from the Greek word "apate," meaning "deceit," due to its frequent confusion with other minerals such as topaz and aquamarine. It is not often faceted due to its softness, but when cut correctly it can display neon like colours which made it explode as a favourite stone nearly overnight. Apatite is also commonly used to make fertilizer as it is a source of phosphorus.
