Spodumene
Spodumene is a mineral that belongs to the pyroxene group and is primarily composed of lithium aluminum inosilicate. It is often found in pegmatite deposits and is known for its various colors, including green, yellow, and pink. Spodumene is an important source of lithium, which is essential for producing batteries, especially for electric vehicles and portable electronics.
The mineral has a crystalline structure and can form large, well-defined crystals. Due to its high lithium content, spodumene is mined for commercial use, and its extraction plays a significant role in the growing demand for lithium in the renewable energy sector.
