Apatite

Apatite is a group of 3 phosphate minerals containing fluorine, chlorine or hydroxyl. Apatite is the most common phosphate mineral, and is the main source of the phosphorus required by plants. The bones and teeth of most animals, including humans, are of the same material as Apatite.

Crystal specimens are deep blue, violet or yellow and sought by collectors. Apatite is used in jewellery but requires care due to its softness.
