Apatite and 18K White Gold

• 6mm Round Blue Apatite Beads
• 18K White Gold Round Bead

Apatite is known for its rich diversity in color — from deep blues and greens to more rare yellow, pink, or purple hues. Its name is derived from the Greek word 'apatao,' meaning to deceive, because it was often mistaken for other minerals such as Aquamarine or Peridot. Despite its name, there's nothing deceptive about the beauty of Apatite. It is often translucent or transparent, giving it a radiant quality that is enhanced when paired with the lustrous shine of gold.

Metaphysical Properties: Apatite is not just visually stunning; it's also believed to have several metaphysical properties:

1. Inspiring Motivation and Personal Growth: Apatite is often associated with ambition and inspiration, believed to clear confusion and frustration, thereby promoting a drive for achieving goals.
2. Enhancing Communication: Known to facilitate open and clear communication, it's thought to aid in the expression of thoughts and feelings, enhancing public speaking and group communication.
3. Promoting a Sense of Unity and Harmony: It's believed to stimulate thoughts and ideas, fostering a humanitarian attitude, encouraging service to others, and a deeper connection to the community.

Why Pair with Gold Beads? Gold is not only a symbol of wealth and prestige, but it also amplifies the energies of the stones it accompanies. When used with Apatite, the gold beads enhance its luster and add a warm contrast to the cool tones of the gemstone. The combination is visually striking and metaphysically harmonious, enhancing the overall appeal of the bracelet.

Fun Facts:
