[Things to prepare]
- A transparent glass (or plastic) container
・Neutral detergent (dishwashing detergent)

*Please note that this method is not suitable for gemstones that are sensitive to water, such as pearls and coral.
[Purification procedure]
(1) Fill a transparent container with water until the entire gemstone is submerged, then place the gemstone inside.
(2) Add a few drops of neutral detergent to the container and leave it for at least 6 hours.
(3) Change the water and leave it for about 40 minutes without adding detergent.
(4) If air bubbles remain around the gemstone, the purification is not complete, so repeat the steps above. Once no more air bubbles remain, carefully wipe off the water.
It is easy to scratch, so be careful not to drop it and handle it carefully, such as by using a soft cloth when handling it.
Also, prolonged exposure to UV rays may cause fading, so be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight or strong UV light.
[Column] Misconceptions about apatite
There are some misconceptions about apatite. Here we will introduce the following two topics.
- Meaning of apatite in English
- The truth behind the use of apatite in dental treatment
Apatite in English is "apatite"
The first common mistake is the English spelling of apatite. The correct spelling is "apatite," but some people seem to mistake it for the word "appetite." Because the sound and spelling are similar, it is easy to recognize it as the English spelling of apatite.
The English word "appetite" is easily confused with the word "appetite," which means "appetite." On the other hand, the gemstone "apatite" is said to have its origin in the Greek word "apate," which means "to deceive or deceive." This is because in the past, it was mistaken for blue tourmaline or aquamarine.
They are often perceived as the same thing, but please be aware that they are completely different words and have completely different meanings.
Is apatite used in dental treatment?
"Hydroxyapatite" is used in dental treatment. Some people seem to think that it is the same as the gemstone apatite, but this is also a misconception.
Hydroxyapatite is a different substance from the gemstone apatite. It is a type of calcium phosphate, which is the main component of teeth and bones. It is used as a synthetic component in medical devices, dental materials, health foods, and cosmetics, and is also widely used in the scientific and industrial fields.
Although the names are similar and it is easy to confuse them, please be aware that the gemstone apatite is not used in dental treatment.
Summary: Apatite is a gemstone that can charge you with energy
Apatite is a gemstone that purifies the owner's negativity, charges the owner with energy, and motivates the owner. It is especially recommended for those who feel the following on a daily basis:
- I don't want to be swayed by the environment and opinions around me.
- There is a change in circumstances (advancement of education, employment, marriage, etc.)
- I want to regain my sense of self
- I want to replenish my sense of healing.
- I want to improve my relationships
- I want to refresh my mind and body
