Lithiophilite

Locality: Foote Lithium Co. Mine (Foote Mine), Kings Mountain District, Cleveland Co., North Carolina, USA

Very large and unusual group of tabular and stacked lithiophilite xls. Surely one of the finest known. Cluster measures just under 1cm. Originally labelled rhodochrosite by the gentleman who collected it. Problem was, only thing collected from this area of the quarry was lithiophilite and swinfordite with minor blue apatites and bertrandite. JBS specimen and photo.
