"The name Apatite is derived from the Greek apate, meaning “deceit,” because it can be confused with gems such as Peridot and Beryl... Promoting a humanitarian attitude, this stone aids communication and induces openness and social ease, dissolving aloofness and alienation. It draws off negativity about oneself and others and is helpful for hyperactive and autistic children."
