Phosphate Minerals in Terrestrial Igneous and Metamorphic Rocks …
Under the normal oxidative conditions of the Earth's crust and upper mantle, phosphorus is present as phosphates, and Koritnig (1978) lists over 200 phosphate minerals. Nonetheless, in common igneous and metamorphic rocks phosphate mineral diversity is extremely limited and is dominated by the occurrence of apatite.

Phosphorus (P) is a nonmetallic element used extensively in the production of fertilizers.Phosphorus is also used in the manufacture of flares, safety matches, fireworks, detergents, and pesticides. It is an essential element for all living organisms and is one of the major nutrients for plants. Two allotropes, or common forms, of P are white P and red P.
