Apatite is a mineral that can appear in a number of different colors, including yellow, blue, green, grey, or brown[1]. Among these colors, blue apatite is often the most popular due to its excellent beauty, and it's generally more expensive than other apatite colors.
The blue apatite shade ranges from an indigo color to a neon blue hue, which is particularly highly sought-after due to its resemblance to Paraiba tourmalines[2]. This type of blue apatite usually comes from Madagascar and is considered very rare.
Aside from its beauty, apatite is known for its physical properties. It is relatively soft when compared to other stones, with a rating of 5 on the Mohs scale of hardness[3]. Apatite is also frequently used for a number of purposes, such as jewelry making, healing, meditation, and ornamentation.
