100% natural blue apatite beads.

These blue apatite beads range from deep teal to ocean blue and bright sky blue, with pale marbling, subtle translucency and a silky sheen on some beads, so the color shifts from bead to bead along the strand. Apatite is a calcium phosphate mineral, and its name comes from the Greek word for deceit, because early collectors often mistook it for other gems. At 5 on the Mohs scale, it is softer than quartz. In metaphysical belief, blue apatite is linked with clarity, motivation and creative expression, and it suits jewelry designs that call for bold color with a natural feel.
