What is apatite? Is apatite worth collecting? Let's take a look at it below.
There are 4 kinds of apatite, mainly referring to fluorophosphorus lime. Apatite is a general term for a series of phosphate minerals, such as yellow-green apatite, fluoroapatite, oxyapatite, chloroapatite, strontium apatite, and the like. Phosphates include normal phosphate salts and acid salts. Apatite is an important mineral for the extraction of phosphorus, of which fluoroapatite is the most important mineral in the trade. The shape of apatite is glassy crystals, blocks or tuberculosis. They are various in color and are generally hexagonal columns with a tapered tip. Most apatites are pure, and if they are harder, they can be used as gems. Phosphorus is often emitted after heating the apatite.
Apatite is found in various igneous rocks as a secondary mineral, and an industrially valuable deposit can be formed in alkaline rock. The large-scale apatite deposits are mainly sedimentary genesis of shallow seas, mainly composed of phosphate rock, which is the cause of China's Hubei Yichang, Yunnan Kunyang, and Guizhou Kaiyang phosphate mines. Apatite is the main inorganic substance in the human and animal hardware (tooth, bone, stone) and an important biological material.
