Evolution of mineral maturity (ν1ν3PO4) vibration in various synthetic apatites. (A) Non-apatitic phosphate (1110 cm−1) decreases with the progression of mineral maturation, while the apatitic phosphates (1030 cm−1) are constant. (B) Mineral maturity increases with the progression of maturation (d: days of maturation).
