Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals that is found in abundance in nature, in the human body in the form of tooth enamel and bone mineral, and even in Moon rocks brought back to Earth by Apollo astronauts 1. Apatite is considered a prized possession among collectors and is very much an insider gemstone collectors’ secret largely unknown to the general public 1. Transparent gemstone-quality apatite, however, is extremely rare and, due to its softness, not often used in jewelry 1. Apatite scores 5 on the Moh’s Scale of Hardness – designed to measure the resistance of minerals to being scratched, with 10 represented by a diamond and 1 by talc – and recognition of the gemstone still flies under the radar 1.
