Fluorapatite is a mineral that belongs to the apatite group, primarily composed of calcium phosphate with fluoride ions. Its chemical formula is Ca5(PO4)3F, indicating that it contains calcium, phosphorus, oxygen, and fluorine. Fluorapatite is commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks and is a significant component of bones and teeth in many organisms. This mineral is valued for its hardness and resistance to chemical weathering, making it useful in various applications, including the production of fertilizers and as a source of phosphorus. Additionally, fluorapatite is often used in dental products due to its ability to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities.
