Frictional anisotropy of the basal plane of natural fluorapatite single crystals was observed ; the coefficient of friction (β) in the [2110] direction (β = 0.217) was approximately 12% higher than that in the [0110] direction (β = 0.193). The load at which the ductile-to-brittle transition occurred ( ) was significantly higher in the [2110] direction ( = 77 gm) than in the [0110] direction ( = 15 gm). A mechanism is proposed involving the maximum normal stress and probable cleavage planes.
