Apatite describes a set of similar isomorphous hexagonal phosphate minerals. The primary Apatite group consists of Fluorapatite, Chlorapatite, and Hydroxylapatite. The extended Apatite supergroup describes additional minerals including Pyromorphite, Mimetite, and Vanadinite, but those are defined for my part in this manual.
