Pagan Blog Project - Week three - B#1 - Blue Apatite

I’ve really been into crystals and stones recently. I figure they’re a good way for me to have a little charm with me without being too obvious, and if I wear it as jewelry, I look stylish, too!

Since I’ve been interning up at the state psychiatric hospital, I’ve been really keen on which stones I wear and why. Last fall I put together a specific piece of jewelry to help me with my job and protection while I was up there, and apatite is one of the stones I’ve been pleased to have learned about this year.

Apatite comes in a few colors. I have black and dark blue, though it can also be a super bright, vibrant blue. According to the website Healing Crystals (my all-time favorite place to buy crystals, if not locally) it helps with psychic abilities and focus during meditation and connects the user to a higher level of spiritual guidance. It helps one come up with new, beneficial ideas (very much so!) and helps the user know what to do to manifest those ideas into reality. As it does this, it helps bring clarity, insight, and helps uncover the truth and subtle messages that one might need to know while moving forward. Blue apatite is great for people like me, as well as social workers, teachers, counselors, journalist, and ministers. Basically, this is a good stone for people who need to open their hearts to both logic and emotions when working with others, while not compromising one over the other.

While uncovering truths, it’s good to have a way to express those truths, and blue apatite helps with that, too. Communication isn’t always easy, but apatite encourages comfort and openness for those who need to rely on their words. It is balancing and soothing, but still gets the job done without being coddling. It encourages confidence in self, especially when dealing with others.

Blue apatite is totally one of my new favorite stones, and I can’t wait to get more of it. (Right now I have my eye on this gemstone chip necklace. Isn’t it just great?)
