Apatite
| Description: |
The mineral apatite comes in many colors, brilliant blues and yellows but primarily greens. In fact, the name apatite comes from a Greek word meaning “to deceive” referring to the minerals similarity to more valuable minerals like periodot and beryl. Oddly enough, apatite is also the mineral that makes up your teeth. |
