I just want to check that the reaction to produce the white phosphorus presented is not correct, it is unbalanced. The Fluorine and some Calcium is missing.

[edit] Name

The opening sentence states the Fluorapatite is an "alternate" spelling of the mineral Fluoroapatite. This is totally false. The official name, per the International Mineralogical Association, the overseeing body of mineralogy, is Fluorapatite. and fluoroapatite is the alternate spelling who's use is discouraged. This page should be redirected to Fluorapatite. Kevmin 04:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

As per my comment of June 10 i am requesting this page be moved the Fluorapatite, currently a redirect to the incorrectly named Fluoroapatite. Kevmin 03:24, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
