Apatite The word Apatite comes from the Greek “apatw” (fraud) because it is often amalgamated with other minerals. Apatite is a calcium phosphate mineral, which contains hydroxyl or fluoride or chloride ions (OH, F, Cl).  So, three different groups of apatite mineral are formed (hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite and chlorapatite), depending on the type of the ion in its chemical composition.

Apatite can be found in many countries, including Brazil, USA, India, Sri Lanka, Germany, Spain, Madagascar, Pakistan, Africa and Mexico.
