Green apatite gemstone pendant necklace handmade in 925 sterling silver
The inspiration for this design was one of roots, and how things are intertwined and woven together to create a unique new story - very apt in this case, as while apatite can form in all rocks types (as long as they are rich in calcium and phosphate) it's most famously formed in sedimentary rocks which were created by the ancient accumulation and compression of calcium/ phosphate rich organic matter, such as bones, shells and teeth; to me that signifies the ability of new life and beauty to grow out of old life and decay. Apatite weaves this together in a sense, helped by what would have been powerful geological forces many years ago, to create what I feel is a this fascinating almost rebirth-like stone.
