Spodumene raw stone

Spodumene – a versatile lithium aluminosilicate

Spodumene belongs to the group of pyroxene minerals and has a chemical composition of lithium aluminum silicate (LiAl(SiO3)2). This mineral is commonly found in pegmatites and its crystals can grow very large.

- Colors: Spodumene can be purple, yellow, green or transparent in color. Pink or pink spodumene is known as kunzite, while the green version is known as hiddenite.
- Crystal structure: Naturally occurring spodumene is monoclinic α-spodumene. When spodumene is heated to 1000°C, it turns into β-spodumene.
- Solubility: α-spodumene does not dissolve in industrial processes, but β-spodumene dissolves in almost any acid or base.

Spodumene is a particularly interesting mineral from both a gemological and an industrial point of view. Its rare color forms, such as kunzite and hiddenite, are popular as gemstones because of their beautiful colors and often large and clear crystals. Spodumene's ability to change its structure under the influence of temperature also makes it an important research target in materials science.
