Fluoro-chloro apatite forms the basis of the now obsolete halophosphor fluorescent tube phosphor system. Dopant elements of manganese and antimony, at less than one mole-percent — in place of the calcium and phosphorus — impart the fluorescence, and adjustment of the fluorine-to-chlorine ratio alter the shade of white produced.
Fluorapatite grains in carbonate groundmass. Photomicrographs of thin section from Siilinjärvi apatite ore. Fluorapatite. São Geraldo do Baixio, Doce valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Fluorapatite can be synthesized in a three step process. First, calcium phosphate is generated by combining calcium and phosphate salts at neutral pH.

Hexafluorosilicic acid is produced commercially from fluoride-containing minerals that also contain silicates. Specifically, apatite and fluorapatite are treated with sulfuric acid to give phosphoric acid, a precursor to several water-soluble fertilizers.
