Apatite is a complex phosphate mineral containing calcium, fluorine, chlorine, and hydroxide. Its colour varies according to the amount of each element present; it may be colourless, red, yellow, green, blue, violet, or brown. This mineral is very common, and develops in igneous and metamorphic rocks. Sizable masses occur all over the world, notably in Germany, Spain, and Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Apatite is mined for its phosphate content. [LM] {CC}
