Hi and crystal blessings! Hope everyone has enjoyed the last few days of the Sagittarius Moon energy - for some reason, I have actually been pretty stressed out and emotionally off despite the usual laid-back vibe of this lunar transit (though I suppose you can't blame the moon for everything!) I did want to mention that tonight around 10 P.M. the moon goes void between Sagittarius and Capricorn - all this means to you is that this isn't a super great time to start anything, so don't sit down to write that paper, because you'll find your creative juices just aren't flowing. Tomorrow, the moon will enter serious Cappy, so we'll be in the mood to get things done and attend to our responsibilities, so whatever you were thinking about getting started tonight, just wait 'till tomorrow!
I'm really wanting to get back to focusing on specific crystals in my blog posts, and spending the entire time exploring their energetic signature and all the cool ways you can work with them. Today, the crystal I want to push into the spotlight is GREEN APATITE.
That's right. Not blue. Not yellow. These are the apatites everyone is always wanting to talk about, and perhaps rightfully so - I'm wearing my blue apatite ring as we speak, and I never do any form of public speaking without my blue apatite wrap (don't worry, I'll post about these varieties of apatite, too!) But, the green variety, being slightly less common, tends to get skipped over completely, which is a total shame - these little guys have an EXTREMELY user-friendly, nonthreatening energy, so even people who don't work a lot with crystals tend to really like them (this makes them particularly good for kids, too.)
Green apatite does most of the cool things it's blue and yellow siblings do - they all are beneficial to people with social discomfort or anxiety, bringing social ease, charisma, and dissolving an aura of aloofness. The apatites are also good at cultivating a healthy relationship with food, and can therefore be helpful little crystal companions for dieting.
I like to recommend this stone particularly to Sun Sign VIRGOS because Green apatite is extremely soothing and calming to the nerves. Typically, Virgos are more abundant with nervous energy than any other sign of the zodiac, always trying to burn it off by running errands, doing chores around the house, working out, or even with mental activities and distractions. Plus, Virgoans are grounded, and will also appreciate the earth connection provided by this stone in addition to the soothing effect it has on their nerves.
As you probably could have guessed by the green color, this is a wonderful stone for the HEART CHAKRA. It is used by crystal healers to treat physical conditions of the heart, and this is a great stone for understanding the karmic routes for your current emotional circumstances (meditate with your green apatite or place it under your pillow to gain such karmic insight.) Additionally, you should wear this stone if you are trying to shed any unhealthy habits you may have in your relationships, or are trying to improve your communication skills with your significant other. This is also a wonderful crystal for soothing heartbreak.
Green apatites are unique because they carry the emotional energy of the green ray combined with the mental energy of an apatite. What this means to you is that this crystal will balance your mental and emotional selves, so is beneficial to people who tend to gravitate toward one of these to an unhealthy extent, instead teaching you to appeal to both your emotions AND intellect when going about daily life and making decisions.
This is also a good crystal companion for TEACHERS and HEALERS, as it helps you to put energy out (as both of these occupations require you to do), while still maintaining some inner balance. If you are a healer, you should definitely be interested in green apatite, as it helps with the transfer of healing energy during reiki or healing touch sessions. It's also great to use in a crystal treatment, as witch's use this stone to amplify the effects of other crystals (and it can also make you more sensitive to crystal energy.)
As with most green stones, green apatite manifests ABUNDANCE and is a wonderful companion for people who have unhealthy relationships with or attachments to money - for this, pair it with almandine garnet (the most common, wine red variety.) Not only is this emotionally beneficial, but according to the law of attraction, will then attract abundance.
Green apatite is a great stone to carry around after battling an illness that really took a piece out of you, or suffering emotional pain or difficulty - its vibe, which can only be described as fresh and spring-like, is rejuvenating and restorative.
So, that's a little bit about a vastly underappreciated apatite and some of the cool ways you can work with it. While you will likely not find a green apatite at any ole' new age shop, most mineral stores will have them, and they are definitely available online.
Thanks for stopping! :)
