But, although apatite also has an insulting name, it is one of the most useful stones. It includes phosphorus, a substance that is necessary for man almost like air and water.
The main deposits of the stone are in Canada, India, Burma, Mexico, Italy, Sri Lanka and Germany.
Phosphorus, in addition, is contained in the human brain, bones and blood. We receive it together with food, and plants can extract it from the ground. In case the plant lacks phosphorus, it begins to wither, its fruits cease to develop, development and growth cease, and the leaves begin to lose color. In order for plants to give food that they need, usually the land is fertilized.
Greenish apatite is brought to the chemical plants, where it is ground, separated by harmful impurities and produces various fertilizers, including double or simple superphosphate, as well as phosphorite flour.
Such fertilizers usually scatter on the fields. The land, which is fed to the full with phosphorus, brings in three times more cabbage, bread, grapes and apples. Sunflower seeds are becoming larger, and sugar beet is sweeter.
Another apatite belongs to the group of phosphates. The color of apatite crystals can be yellow, white, green, violet, blue, bluish-green and yellow-green. Sometimes there are also colorless stones, and crystals with the effect of the so-called "cat's eye". It has a glass, and sometimes resin shine.
