One of our favorite suggestions for using apatite tumbles in gemstone décor is to add them to a crystal or glass plate, bowl, vase, or other container. You can layer them or use them to surround figurines or other display pieces, too. With all of the colors and variation available in gemstone chips, there is almost always a complementary or accent color that will suit your personal style, Southwestern or otherwise.

We have another fun décor idea—crystal grids. You may have heard of them before, but outside of the realm of décor. We encourage you get creative with your gemstones. Crystal grids are a great way to do that. You can make impressive displays filled with color and wonder. Try it out and let us know what you think!

Some Notes About Apatite

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals with the chemical formula X5(YO4)3Z, where X can be calcium, strontium, or lead, Y is phosphorus, and Z is fluorine, chlorine, or hydroxide. It is commonly found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks. Apatite quality grades are based on color, clarity, and size. Gem-quality apatite is known for its vibrant colors, including blue, green, and yellow, and can exhibit a high level of transparency. Industrial-grade apatite is typically used in the production of fertilizers and phosphoric acid. Apatite is also used in the manufacture of ceramics, glass, and dental products.
