'''Abuite''' is a colorless [[calcium]] [[aluminium]] [[phosphate minerals|phosphate mineral]] with chemical formula CaAl{{sub|2}}(PO{{sub|4}})F{{sub|2}}. It is chemically similar to [[galliskiite]] with the exception that it is [[hydrate]]d.<ref name=Mindat>[https://mindat.org/min-46490.html Abuite] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190406013013/https://www.mindat.org/min-46490.html |date=2019-04-06 }} on [[mindat.org]]</ref>
