  1. Gorgeous lepidolite specimen that friends bought from the recent Rocks & Minerals show here.

    #Lepidolite is a lilac-gray/rose-colored member of the #mica group of #minerals . It's the most abundant #lithium bearing mineral & a secondary source of this metal. It's a major source of the alkali metal #rubidium too.

  5. NPR had a story today about #Lithium #mining in Nevada linked below.

    Our #electricbattery futures need an abundance of lithium. Where will we get it?

    It made me think about my undergrad #geology class to the Harding #Pegmatite in New Mexico — #lepidolite and other lithium bearing minerals have the most beautiful hues of pinks and purples. Sharing a picture because I think they are pretty.
