Blue Apatite Tumbled Set (M)

Quick Healing Overview: Apatite increases motivation and builds up energy reserves. It helps overcome self-consciousness and alienation and promotes openness and social ease. It is beneficial in easing sorrow and anger and reducing irritability and emotional exhaustion. Blue Apatite has an uplifting energy that raises spirits, encouraging a positive outlook and hopeful attitude.

Birthstone & Zodiac Uses: Apatite is not a traditional birthstone. Apatite, blue in color, is one of the natural birthstones of those born as the world awaits the vernal equinox and spring (February 19 – March 19). Apatite is not associated with any zodiac sign, although some report it associated with Gemini.

Uses in Meditation: With spiritual discipline, Apatite encourages the development of deeper states of meditation and reflection. It provides inner clarity, peace, and oneness with the higher self. Used with other crystals, Apatite facilitates end results with greater ease.

For Chakra Balancing: Blue Apatite stimulates the Third Eye and the Throat Chakras.  The Throat Chakra is the voice of the body. It is, in essence, a pressure valve that allows the energy from the other chakras to be expressed. If it is blocked or out of balance, it can affect the health of the other chakras. The Brow Chakra, also called the Third Eye, is the center of our perception and command. It directs our sight and everyday awareness of the world. Our consciousness is located here, and we relate to ourselves through this chakra.

Crystal Color Energy: Blue Apatite is the color of ice reflecting the slowly lightening winter sky as the deep violets depart, and the sun climbs higher each day. As winter gives way to spring and new life is ready to burst forth, blue marks the beginning of life and emotion. Blue crystals bring trust, faith, patience, and respect, lending the focus we need to become more sincere, act more responsibly, and become more trustworthy.

Associated Goddesses: Blue Apatite honors Gaia, the Greek Earth Mother Goddess. Born directly out of Chaos, the primal emptiness, she was the first (or one of the first) beings to appear during the process of creation and is honored as being the Earth itself.

Feng Shui Uses: Blue Apatite utilizes Water energy, the energy of stillness, quiet strength, and purification. It embodies potentialities unrealized. It is yielding, formless, yet powerful. The Water element brings the power of regeneration and rebirth. It is the energy of the circle of life.

Uses in Divination: The Divinatory meaning of Blue Apatite: A period of slow improvement rather than feast or famine will follow.

Talisman Energy: Blue Apatite is a Seeker Buffer crystal. Seekers contain the crystal energy structure that aligns the natural energy of the crystal to the natural power of the human mind to find the way to new horizons and new capabilities. They’re pointers, directors, and compasses, the fresh start crystals. These are talismans of the scientist, the adventurer, the hunter, wanderer, and explorer. They’re also crystals of the student and the researcher.

Buffers are excellent at restoring balance in situations that have become unstable. They are weathering stones that help us get through hard times. They soften a blow and put things right. They protect us from outside influences and temper shocks and add emotional padding to our efforts to deal with the bumps and bruises of life.
