LITHOEN

Resource commodity

Lithium (commodity)

Lithium as a traded commodity, distinct from the chemical element. In the greisen systems of the Erzgebirge/Krušné hory it is carried not in spodumene but in zinnwaldite, a lithium-rich mica — a difference in host mineral that changes what any separation process has to do.
