A representative phosphate mineral. Its chemical composition is Ca 5 (PO 4 ) 3 (F,Cl,OH). Some of the Ca may be replaced by Pb, and some of the P by Si and As. When F, Cl, and OH are the main components, they are called fluorapatite, chlorapatite, and hydroxyapatite, respectively, and when some of the PO 4 is replaced by CO 3 OH, they are called carbonate apatite. It belongs to the hexagonal crystal system and shows hexagonal columnar and plate-like crystals, but often forms granular or clumpy aggregates. Specific gravity is 3.1-3.2, Mohs hardness is 5.

リン酸塩鉱物の代表的なものの一つ。化学成分はCa5(PO4)3(F,Cl,OH)。Caの一部がPbに,Pの一部がSi,Asに置換されることがある。またF,Cl,OHを主とする場合は,それぞれフッ素リン灰石,塩素リン灰石,水酸化リン灰石と呼び,さらに,PO4の一部をCO3OHで置換する種を炭酸リン灰石と呼ぶ。六方晶系に属し,六角柱状,板状結晶を示すが,粒状,塊状集合体となる場合も多い。比重3.1~3.2,モース硬度5。
