Apatite is present within both the hosting lherzolite and sulfide ore at the Jinchuan magmatic Ni-Cu sulfide deposit of northwest China. Apatite grains within the lherzolite are generally large and hexagonal (>200 μm) and are associated with interstitial phlogopite and amphibole. These apatite grains contain ~0.9 wt % F, ~1 wt % Cl, 6,800 to 14,500 ppm …
