Apatite Strength

An Apatite Strength necklace of rounded crystal gemstones deeply purifies and strengthens the energies that govern both the physical body’s mineral balance and an individual’s intuitive sense of self and knowing.

Keeping our bones, joints, and connective tissue healthy is fundamental to our well-being. The living skeleton is our body's internal framework: it supports the body and gives it shape; makes locomotion possible; protects the brain and all our vital organs; stores vital minerals; and produces our blood cells. Any injury, illness, or pain in these structures impairs our health and can severely affect our quality of life. An Apatite Strength necklace of rounded gemstone crystals supports longevity and well-being by helping maintain the strength and vibrancy of these foundational structures and preventing issues from arising in them. It also helps strengthen areas of weakness and help heal unwanted conditions and injuries.

Both the physical structure of the body and spiritual structure of identity the use the energies of the indigo ray. In the physical body, the indigo ray helps form the matrix of bone and tissue. The Indigo gemstone carries the indigo ray. All the gems in Apatite Strength combine to create a powerful formula for rebuilding mineralized tissue, supporting the alignment of facial and cranial bones, and moving these physical elements closer to optimal health.

The structural strength brought by the indigo ray also forms our deepest sense of self, which arises from our soul identity. Thus, when we say we feel something “in our bones,” we are referring to the deep well of awareness at the heart of our identity. When you wear Apatite Strength, the flow of indigo ray increases through your brow chakra and washes downward through your body, striking a deep note of knowing and remembering, while purifying the physical tissues that contain a high mineral content.

The Apatite in the necklace also supports improved absorption and regulation of nutrition, particularly mineral nutrition. This effect can improve the effectiveness of weight loss programs, new diet changes, and the immune system. Although the primary focus of Apatite Strength is the mineralized tissues and structures of the body, all of these secondary effects are part of the necklace’s energy signature and benefits.

Apatite Strength works at the origin point of the energies that become the body’s structural tissues and one’s identity as an individual being. Therefore, it is particularly helpful when an injury or condition would benefit from strengthening and cleansing at a deeper, more spiritual level.

The Longevity Collection

Apatite Strength is part of Gemisphere’s Longevity Collection of therapeutic necklaces. The collection also includes Apatite Vitality and Apatite Strength, which feature Apatite, and Star Aqua and Earth Aqua, which feature Aquamarine. All three Apatite combinations purify, strengthen, and support the body’s structural elements, though each has a somewhat different focus.  

The emphasis of Apatite Vitality is to bring energy, balance, and strength to these elements, with less emphasis on cleansing.  

Apatite Purity provides a more profound purification and strengthening. It works at deeper, more spiritual layers, addressing the energies that form the body’s mineralized tissues and that structure our individual identities. The Indigo also works with the higher energies affecting the brow chakra.   

Apatite Strength supports and strengthens the bones, etc., by removing clouds of unwanted and negative energies that are impeding their healing. This necklace is particularly helpful when a condition is not responding to other therapies or is healing too slowly.

Protecting the Apatite in Apatite Strength

While Apatite Strength is a wonderful necklace to bring into your life, be aware that the Apatite in the necklace requires some special care. Apatite may crack or break more easily than other gems if they are subjected to certain conditions or treatments. To lengthen the life of your Apatite Strength necklace, please bear the following precautions in mind:

• Do not expose Apatite Strength to extreme temperatures, either hot or cold.
• Avoid subjecting the necklace to hard pressure or shock. Coiling your Apatite Strength into a tight spiral or dropping it onto a hard surface may cause the Apatite gems to crack or break.
• Wear Apatite Strength by itself, without other gems or metals that may come into contact with it.
• If your Apatite Strength requires physical cleaning, gently wash the gems with soap and slightly warm water, without changing the water temperature. Then let the necklace air-dry on a soft towel. To avoid dulling the Apatite’s polish, do not rub or pat them with a cloth.
• To energetically cleanse Apatite Strength, use the Plant Rejuvenation or Salt Bed technique and avoid the Water Rinse and Clay Cleanse techniques.

See more details under “Cleanse Apatite Strength Regularly” below.

Wear It Around Your Neck

One of the most powerful and convenient ways to use an Apatite Strength necklace is to wear it around your neck. There the gems will silently work for you as you go about your day. At night while you are sleeping, you can wear the necklace or keep it within three feet of your body to maintain your connection with the gems.  

Because Apatite is a soft and fragile gemstone, it can fracture easily unless it is given special care. To minimize the micro-abrasions caused by the gems rubbing against clothing, wear a necklace containing Apatite against your skin. Handle it gently at all times, and avoid laying it on hard surfaces. Because of the softness of this special gem, over time and with wear, its surface polish will tend to dull. Although minor dulling will have minimal impact on the gems’ therapeutic value, significant dulling will dampen its therapeutic effectiveness.

Special Therapies

You can also use it for more focused treatments. For a localized treatment with less effect on the brow chakra and head, you can curl up an Apatite Strength necklace and place it directly over a joint, bone, or connective tissue that needs strength and healing. When applied during the acute stage of a sprain or strain, this can also help speed the healing of an injured joint or bone.

Time Guidelines

Apatite Strength can be worn continuously. However, it is always wise to be sensitive to your body’s responses. When you wear an Apatite Strength necklace, the energies of healing and purification most often enter through the brow chakra and move downward through the body. This effect can be very strong in some people. If you experience too much energy flow in or through your head, start out wearing the necklace for only a few minutes to an hour at a time. Gradually increase this time until you can comfortably wear the gems for as long and often as you wish.

Cleanse Apatite Strength Regularly

To maintain their effectiveness, therapeutic gemstones need regular care. As the gems help us release energetic impurities, some of these energies cling to the gems’ surface and inhibit their ability to work at their peak capacity. A simple energetic cleansing will clear these energies and restore the gems to their naturally vibrant state. You can use any of the following methods to cleanse your Apatite Strength necklace. Learn more about these methods.

Plant Rejuvenation: 2 – 3 times a week, wrap the necklace around the base of a healthy houseplant or lay the necklace in its branches.

Salt Bed: 2 – 3 times a week, lay the gems in a half-inch of salt for at least an hour or overnight. Place a thin natural-fiber cloth between the salt and the gems.

Caution: Avoid rinsing, which will dull Indigo’s polish, and avoid clay cleansing, which will dull both Apatite and Indigo’s polish.

Avoid cleansing in direct sunlight. Although wearing White Flash Moonstone in sunlight will do it no harm, cleansing it in sunlight is not recommended. If your Apatite Strength necklace is exposed to direct sunlight while you are not wearing it, to replenish it place it outside on the ground under dense foliage and cover it with a cloth to protect it further from the sunshine, or lay it on the ground at night. Leave it there for at least an hour.

When Your Necklace First Arrives

When you put on a new necklace or one you haven’t worn for a while, bring it into your aura with consciousness and a clear intent. We call this “practicing presence.” By opening yourself to the gems’ energies and consciously cooperating with the process of change, you can greatly enhance the gemstones’ benefits.

Created in partnership with a naturopathic doctor, Apatite Strength brings together the two gems that most closely resonate with our bones. This marriage of Indigo and Apatite bathes our bones, joints, and teeth in nourishing indigo ray, while nurturing our sense of knowing the truth of something “in our bones.”

Therapeutic Quality Apatite Strength

Apatite Strength contains Indigo, Apatite, and White Flash Moonstone.

Indigo

To accurately determine its quality, Indigo must be observed with a light source behind it. A light source reveals therapeutic Indigo’s true indigo-blue color and translucency. Without it, the Indigo’s color appears much darker, and its translucency disappears.

As the crystalline form of Sodalight, Indigo shares Sodalight’s tendency to contain white streaks or clouds. The finest quality Indigo is neon-like cobalt blue, translucent, and free from white clouds. As spheres move away from this finest quality, they contain more white and are less translucent. Spheres that are nearly opaque are of low therapeutic value. Spheres in which the white overtakes the indigo hue are non-therapeutic.

Like Sodalight, Indigo can become whiter as it absorbs negative energies from the environment and from your aura. This cloudiness may take as long as years or as little as weeks to develop. The Indigo remains effective, however, until the cloudiness overwhelms the indigo color of the spheres.

Apatite

To be therapeutic, Apatite should demonstrate brightness, good clarity, a sense of lightness, and a strong magnetic feel. Exceptionally high quality Apatite also displays gem candescence, an optical quality that makes the gems appear like liquid drops of blue-green light. All other factors being equal, gem-candescent Apatite is more effective in the subtle bodies than Apatite without gem candescence.

Because Apatite is such a soft mineral, small cracks and inclusions can cause the beads to break much more easily than most gemstones. The fewer the inclusions in Apatite, the more effective its work will be, and the less prone the gems will be to breakage.

Because of Apatite’s softness, nearly all the Apatite available on the market today has been treated with an epoxy resin to “stabilize,” or harden, it. This treatment either inhibits the Apatite’s therapeutic effects or renders the Apatite entirely non-therapeutic. Gemisphere uses only untreated Apatite with no epoxy resin treatment.

Our Apatite rondels are cut from high quality crystals usually reserved for making faceted gems. To ensure our Apatite’s superior therapeutic value, we obtain the gemstones in rough form and then have the rondels cut to our unique specifications. Consequently, we offer the highest quality therapeutic Apatite necklaces available anywhere.

White Flash Moonstone

Therapeutic-quality White Flash Moonstone is milky-white and can vary in its degree of translucency. Therapeutic Moonstone displays an optical quality called adularescence—that is, a shimmery flash of white or, in very rare cases, blue. Almost every bead in a therapeutic Moonstone necklace should have a distinct flash. The more surface area the flash covers, the more potent the gem is. For the best view of its flash, hold your Moonstone in sunlight.

Cracks and inclusions hinder Moonstone’s effectiveness and should be either absent or very minimal. Black or other colored opaque spots void Moonstone’s energy in an area many times the size of the spot itself. A necklace with many spots might even be harmful to the wearer’s supraphysical fabric.

Gemisphere’s therapeutic Moonstone necklaces are made with Moonstone rondels that have been cut from high quality crystals. To ensure our Moonstone’s superior therapeutic value, we obtain the gemstones in rough form and then have them cut to our unique specifications.
