Neon Blue Apatite Ring / raw / new- 4.84 g - (1)

Ring Neonblauer Apatit / roh / neu Gefasst in 925. Sterlingsilber Gesamtgewicht: 4,84 g 14,8 mm x 11,3 mm Neu und ungetragen Ringgröße: U 55 UK O US 7,2 Fr 15 Innendurchmeser: 17,5 mm Der Name wurde aus dem griechischen „apatein“, was so viel wie täuschen bedeutet, abgeleitet. In der griechischen Mythologie war Apate, die Göttin der Täuschung, des Betruges und der Gaunerei, eine der bösen Geister, die aus der Büchse der Pandora befreit wurden. Einer der Gründe für diese Namensgebung sind sicher die zahlreichen Farben, in denen der Apatit vorkommt. Er wurde früher oft schlicht für einen anderen Edelstein gehalten, z.B. sieht ein königsblauer oder dunkelblauer Apatit einem blauen Saphir sehr ähnlich. Es gab aber auch Verwechselungen mit Turmalinen, Peridots und Beryllen. Allerdings fristete dieser Edelstein in der Vergangenheit eher ein Schattendasein in der Schmuck- und Edelsteinwelt.

The name is derived from the Greek "apatein", which means to deceive. In Greek mythology, Apate, the goddess of deception, fraud and trickery, was one of the evil spirits released from Pandora's box. One of the reasons for this name is certainly the numerous colors in which apatite occurs. In the past, it was often simply mistaken for another gemstone; for example, a royal blue or dark blue apatite looks very similar to a blue sapphire. But there were also confusions with tourmalines, peridots and beryls. However, in the past, this gemstone lived a rather shadowy existence in the world of jewelry and gemstones.
