Hello Tomas,
You may want to check out the Mineralogical Society of America Review's in
Mineralogy Volume 48, published in 2002:
PHOSPHATES
Geochemical, Geobiological, and Materials Importance
by Matthew L. Kohn, John Rakovan & John M. Hughes, editors
http://www.minsocam.org/MSA/RIM/Rim48.html
It contains a fairly up-to-date summary and reference list of all you ever
wanted to know (and more) about apatite and other phosphates.
