Polylithionite: Mineral information, data and localities.
From the Greek "POLY," for many or much, and in allusion to its composition with a high LITHIum content.
Several polytypes are known (see below).
Lepidolite A Li-rich mica in, or close to, the so-called Polylithionite-Trilithionite series. Mon.
