Fluorapatite - Wikipedia Fluorapatite, often with the alternate spelling of fluoroapatite, is a phosphate mineral with the formula Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 F (calcium fluorophosphate) Fluorapatite is a hard crystalline solid
Fluorapatite: Mineral information, data and localities. Fluorapatite is by far the most common species in the apatite group It occurs in almost all igneous rocks, during initial phases of paragenesis, as an accessory mineral, commonly in microscopic crystals, and may occur as very large bodies as late-magmatic segregations in alkaline igneous rocks
Fluorapatite | Structure, Properties, Uses | Britannica Fluorapatite, common phosphate mineral, a calcium fluoride phosphate, Ca5 (PO4)3F It occurs as minute, often green, glassy crystals in many igneous rocks, and also in magnetite deposits, high-temperature hydrothermal veins, and metamorphic rocks; it also occurs as collophane in marine deposits
