This spodumene-bearing pegmatite consists of four major zones with slightly different mineral compositions from the border to the core. The wall zone of quartz-rich granitoid and the intermediate zone of alkali granite have trondhjemitic compositions near the quartzolitic gem-bearing core zone. All parts of the vein are peraluminous in ...

extraction from spodumene using CaCl 2 and Cl 2. Though they reported a successful chlorination for high conversion, their study was based on the calcined mineral (b-spodumene) which does not eradicate the phase transformation problem. This study investigates the direct baking of a-spodumene using CaCl 2, followed by aqueous …

Rarely is Spodumene seen in twinned crystals, but they do exist. This specimen is a very good example of a twinned Spodumene with a distinct twinning plane visible through the length of the crystal. The crystal is quite gemmy and has a very attractive and uncommon greenish-yellow color. There is a contact on the termination, but the crystal is ...

A new spodumene-rich pegmatite was recently discovered on the north side of Plumbago Mountain, Oxford County, Western Maine. The site is about 1.5 km northwest of the famous Dunton gem tourmaline pegmatite. It is an albite-quartz-spodumene pegmatite containing gigantic crystals of spodumene and montebrasite. Some …

We describe their mutual relationships: where spodumene is an early magmatic phase, petalite precipitates directly from a late orthomagmatic fluid, the spodumene remaining metastably, whereas eucryptite is obviously hydrothermal and secondary. Replacement of the primary Li-minerals is the rule, but is diversified and …

40km. Plumbago North is a new prospect pit in an LCT pegmatite most likely of the spodumene-albite subtype. The pegmatite strikes NW. The pegmatite hosts some of the world's largest spodumene crystals as well as huge (>3m) montebrasite crystals. Given the size of these crystals, the pegmatite body most probably is of similarly huge proportions.

β-spodumene. The α-spodumene is virtually refractory to hot acids. As a result of the phase transformation, the spodumene crystal structure expands by about 30% and becomes amenable to hot sulphuric acid attack. Due to this expansion, the specific gravity of the spodumene decreases from 3.1 g/cm3 (natural α-spodumene) to around 2.4 g/

Spodumene is a pyroxene member of inosilicate mineral with chemical formula is LiAl(SiO3)2, lithium aluminium. It can also be pink, lilac, or green. Crystals are prismatic, flattened, and typically striated along their length. Gem varieties of the mineral usually exhibit strong pleochroism. Spodumene is an important ore of lithium.

Spodumene is worked as an ore of lithium, but it is most highly prized as a gem material - the varieties Kunzite (pink) and Hiddenite (green) are especially sought after. It is usually found as a constituent of lithium-rich pegmatites. It forms crystals to 12 meters in length.
