APATITE has been associated with appetite suppression for centuries. I have chosen it for the Overeaters Anonymous symbol because of its association with weight, self-acceptance, balance, healing, and helping us to see the truth about ourselves. 

APATITE strengthens your bones, and your whole skeletal system, aids in preventing Osteoporosis, just as you would expect from a stone that in involved with regulating appetite, metabolism, and food absorption.

  • Wearing blue contributes to an unconditional acceptance of circumstances and people. Many believe it to be so potent that even a small piece worn continually has great power.
  • Apatite relates to service and the development of humanitarian pursuits. Is attuned to healing, communicating, balancing, and teaching.
  • Particularity useful in helping to discern the truth within - the truths about ourselves.
  • Apatite enhances creativity. It awakens the finer, inner self. Also helps in over activity, under activity, blockages, and congestions in any of the chakras. 

Used for both good luck and as protective talismans and amulets.
