A method of producing a phosphor is described in which a precursor including particles having an average diameter from 1.5 micrometers to 15 micrometers is heat-treated under a reducing atmosphere. The method can produce particles including a mineral core and a shell including a composite phosphate of lanthanum and/or cerium, optionally doped with terbium. The composite phosphate of lanthanum and/or cerium covers the mineral core uniformly over a thickness greater than or equal to 300 nm. The aforementioned heat treatment at a temperature of 1050° C. to 1150° C. and for a time period of 2 hours to 4 hours can involve the use of lithium tetraborate (Li2B4O7), which serves as a fluxing agent, in a mass quantity of at most 0.2%.
