Blue Apatite Pierced Heart Pendant 2 cm
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.

Pierced Pendants
Pierced pendants are polished and cut (precious) stones with a drill hole, making them easy to wear on a cord or chain. This makes them a popular choice for jewellery. In most cases, the pendants are pierced widthwise, from left to right.
The pierced pendants are available in various shapes and sizes, including drop, oval, point and heart. Some of the range is manufactured in China, while other pendants come from Madagascar. The pierced diameter varies by model and is usually between 2 and 4 mm. We sell the pierced pendants individually, with some having a minimum order of 5 pieces. Unfortunately, we do not currently have any matching cord or chain in our range!
