Any mineral of a Nickel–Strunz 9 ed mineral class number 8
Phosphate minerals contain the tetrahedrally coordinated phosphate (PO 4 3−) anion, sometimes with arsenate (AsO 4 3−) and vanadate (VO 4 3−) substitutions, along with chloride (Cl − ), fluoride (F − ), and hydroxide (OH −) anions, that also fit into the crystal structure. The phosphate class of minerals is a large and diverse group, however, only a few species are relatively common. Wikipedia
