Apatite Filigree Pendant

£0.00

This pendant is made with sterling silver and sold with a 18" sterling silver figaro chain.

Borealis Jewellery Design's sterling silver pendants and chains are carefully selected, for both eye-catching design and high quality, from silversmiths in India, Thailand and the USA as well as the UK.

Included with this pendant is a presentation bag and a card describing its gemstone.

Apatite

A striking, bright blue-green stone (though it can also come in other colours), Apatite is unfortunately too soft for common use in jewellery as it is inclined to fracture. It can, however, be worn with care in earrings or necklaces. Unusually, in the US, Apatite is used to fertilise tobacco in order to give a distinctive flavour to American cigarettes.

Apatite is said to clear away confusion and help its wearer to see truly. Most particularly, it is said that Apatite can greatly enhance its wearer's capacity for unconditional acceptance both of others and of themselves; some sources claim that even a small piece, if worn constantly, can have dramatic effect.

In addition, Apatite is also said to encourage extroversion and counteract feelings of alienation.
