Apatite measures 5 on the Mohs hardness scale, softer than quartz. Pendants protect the stone better than rings because they avoid direct contact with hard surfaces. Store your apatite pendant separate from harder gems to prevent scratches.
Trace elements create apatite's color variations. Manganese produces blue and green shades, while rare earth elements can cause yellow or violet hues. Heat treatment can enhance color in some specimens, though many stones in our collection retain their natural coloring.
Use warm water with mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and harsh chemicals. The stone's moderate hardness and sensitivity to heat require gentle care to maintain its appearance over time.
