Huge 27.01 Carat Natural Loose Spodumene Emerald Shape Gem For Necklace

About the Item

Natural Loose Spodumene Weight: 27.01 Carat Dimension: 24.93 x 21.72 x 9.70 Mm Shape: Emerald Certificate: Available Colour: Colourless Spodumene is a pyroxene mineral composed of lithium aluminum inosilicate (LiAl(SiO3)2) and is a crucial source of lithium, an element essential for various industrial applications. This mineral typically forms in lithium-rich pegmatites and exhibits two primary varieties: gem-quality spodumene, known as kunzite (pink to purple) and hiddenite (green), and industrial spodumene used primarily for lithium extraction. Spodumene's significance has surged with the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries, pivotal in modern electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage systems. The lithium content in spodumene makes it one of the preferred minerals for lithium extraction. Typically, spodumene is processed through a series of steps, including crushing, heating in a kiln to transform it from its alpha to beta phase, followed by leaching and extraction of lithium. In terms of physical characteristics, spodumene crystals are often prismatic and can reach impressive sizes. They are typically colorless but can appear in shades of yellow, green, and pink depending on impurities. The mineral has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it fairly durable, and it exhibits a vitreous luster. Geologically, significant deposits of spodumene are found in countries such as Australia, Brazil, China, and the United States. The Greenbushes lithium mine in Western Australia is one of the largest and most notable sources. The extraction and processing of spodumene have environmental implications, including habitat disruption and water usage concerns. As the demand for lithium grows, there is increasing attention on sustainable mining practices and the development of alternative lithium sources, such as lithium brines and recycling of lithium batteries. Overall, spodumene's role in the global supply chain is critical, especially in the context of the transition to sustainable energy solutions, where lithium-ion batteries play a vital role. Its continued importance underscores the need for responsible mining and innovative approaches to lithium production.
