lepidolite (ithia mica)
I-Lepidolite iyona minerali ye-lithium eqhelekileyo kunye ne-mineral ebalulekileyo yokukhupha i-lithium.Yisiseko se-aluminosilicate ye-potassium kunye ne-lithium, eyeyamaminerali e-mica.Ngokuqhelekileyo, i-lepidolite iveliswa kuphela kwi-granite pegmatite.Inxalenye ephambili ye-lepidolite yikli1 5Al1.5 [alsi3o10] (F, oh) 2, equkethe i-Li2O ye-1.23-5.90%, ehlala iqulethe i-rubidium, i-cesium, njl. Inkqubo ye-Monoclinic.Umbala umfusa kunye nepinki, kwaye unokukhanya ukuya kumbala, kunye ne-pearl luster.Ihlala ikwi-aggregate yesikali esicolekileyo, ikholamu emfutshane, i-aggregate yamaphepha amancinci okanye i-crystal plate enkulu.Ubunzima buyi-2-3, ubunzima obuthile yi-2.8-2.9, kwaye i-cleavage ephantsi iphelele kakhulu.Xa inyibilika, inogwebu kwaye ivelise idangatye elibomvu le-lithium elimnyama.Ayinyibiliki kwi-asidi, kodwa emva kokunyibilika, inokuchaphazeleka kwakhona ngama-asidi.
