The minerals, principally spodumene (LiAlSi2O6) and petalite (LiAlSi4O10), are used...that produce more than one metal (Norton, 1977). Spodumene is the most important lithium mineral in pegmatites...1976). Their average modal composition is 20% spodumene, 32% quartz, 41% feldspar and 6% muscovite, with...batholith in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Spodumene is the dominant lithium mineral here as well,...26% quartz, 43% feldspar, 22% petalite, 1.9% spodumene, 1.3% amblygonite and 0.7% eucryptite (Stilling |
