Apatite, a gemstone known for its diverse color range, displays hues from vibrant blues and greens to yellows, purples, and even colorless varieties. With a moderate hardness of 5 on the Mohs scale, it requires careful handling. Its brilliance and clarity, particularly in well-cut specimens, make it a captivating gem for collectors. While its relatively lower hardness limits its use in everyday jewelry, apatite's striking colors, especially those resembling Paraíba tourmaline, have increased its popularity.
