Blue Apatite Double Butterfly Pendant from China
Apatite
Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals mostly found in shades of blue-green to green, but yellow, violet and colourless varieties are also known. The name comes from the Greek apate, meaning "deception", as apatite is often confused with other minerals. It is a common constituent of phosphorus-rich rocks and plays an important role in biological processes, as it is also found in teeth and bones of humans and animals.
Major deposits of apatite include Brazil, Mexico, Myanmar, Russia and Madagascar. The mineral forms in both magmatic and metamorphic rocks and is also present in phosphate deposits. Apatite has the chemical formula Ca₅(PO₄)₃(F,Cl,OH). Apatite has a hardness of 5 on the Mohs scale.

Double-Binder Pendants
The stone cut into double-cylinder is fixed in a silver- or gold-coloured holder with eye. The double-inder has a length of about 3.2 cm, measured without the eye. These pendants are available in various stone types and are supplied individually. Due to the use of natural stone, colour, markings and finish may vary slightly from one pendant to another.
