i believe apatite has an entire SUPERgroup named after it, and one of the other groups in that supergroup is made of phosphorus-bearing Y and rare-earth-element silicate hydroxides/fluorides/chlorides called the britholite group. it's definitely the most interesting part of the apatite supergroup for me bc there aren't many minerals made with lanthanides

Awesome delivery, Rob!! I think the whitish blue is my favorite apatite. Keep Rob coming back please.

So I purchased some lovely apatite crystals a while back and noticed something fascinating, they floresce neon orange under uv lights! Hence why I always check new specimens for fluorescence!

[@karengarcia8587]

My wife and I have some large chunks of apatite and other crystals from Mount Apatite City Park in Auburn. Maine. The stuff is pretty, but fragile and hard to work with. Colors from brown to pale blue. Lots of feldspar , quartz and a bit of garnets, and lots of mica. Some feldspar was thinly layered with garnet.

I badly need Apatite in my collection! :) Love this episode! 💙

Hydroxyapatite crystals are also found in Payhilogical calcificatons..Such as those found in Breast tumors, Pineal gland and Corpora arenacea (Brain sand)

Fairuza means Turquoise, one should always carry a loupe no telling what you might discover.

I got some little yellow apatite pieces recently. They are absolutely stunning. I plan on putting one of the pieces in a cage necklace.

[@Alpha13Wolf]

Apatity, in northern RU is named after it and was it’s place of discovery.

[@cezarcatalin1406]

Fun fact: Your teeth enamel is actually made out of hydroxyapatite.

[@maxevocal]

This is terrifying news, youve made my day

[@ExsoLam]

Most/all of what we saw in this video was fluorapatite, which is formed in your teeth when you use toothpaste/drink tap water containing fluoride!

[@tapboyd8519]

Please please! Labradorite! Thanks

[@SharpAssKnittingNeedles]

Hate to be that guy, but the muscovite books on the last piece are the real star 😍

[@cornbreadfedkirkpatrick9647]

So I've been saying it right, wow. be careful if you have an Apitie for destruction

[@mrtomcruise5192]

Apatite is quite soft for jewellery

[@Destiny07180]

I have several of these stones, I love them!

[@sherrizanoli1398]

I was just able to get rose colored apatite in a ring, earrings and necklace. It looks like rose wine.
