Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals that are commonly found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks.  Apatite is named after the Greek word "apate," which means deceit, as it can be easily confused with other minerals due to its wide range of colors and forms. It can occur in various colors, including green, blue, yellow, brown, and violet. 

The cat's eye effect in apatite is caused by the presence of parallel needle-like inclusions within the stone.  The color of apatite cat's eye can vary, but it is often seen in shades of green or blue. The intensity and quality of the cat's eye effect can also vary from stone to stone.

Apatite is believed to possess healing properties and is associated with creativity, self-expression, and personal growth. It is thought to enhance communication skills, stimulate intellect, and promote clarity of thought.
