Tumbled apatite refers to apatite stones that have been polished and smoothed through a tumbling process. Tumbling involves placing the rough stones in a rotating drum along with water and abrasive grit. As the drum rotates, the stones rub against each other, smoothing out their rough edges and creating a polished surface.
Discovered by German geologist Abraham Gottlob Werner in the year 1786, the name Apatite is derived from the Greek word “apate” which translates “to deceit.” The name is in reference to the close resemblance apatite has to other minerals such as tourmaline, peridot, topaz, and beryl. Apatite is considered to be the most common phosphate mineral due to the fact that this mineral is found in the bones and teeth of all vertebrate animals.
