I’all repost the whole enchilada if warranted.

Yes I am a phosphate compound. Ideally we are going for the exact compound although arguably there are 2 or 3 ok alternatives.

Yes. I thought about going with fluorapatite but found apatite fit the bill with the general formula

Ca10(P04,C03)6(F,Cl,OH)

Where various combinations of the anions can appear, so long as there is some PO4 present. This is documented at

https://pubs.usgs.gov/bul/1252d/report.pdf

So apatite it is.
