According to the Merck Index published by Merck Laboratories, spodumene is
lithium aluminum sulfate. According to the CRC Handbood of Chemistry and
Physics, spodumene is lithium aluminum silicate. I defer to the geologists
and believe that the CRC is actually correct. Both of these books are
considered to be excellant references and I have jotted a note off to Merck
inquiring into their difference of opinion. The suprise to me is that the
Merck is more readily used as a resource than the CRC and I would expect them
to be accurate. But I have have strong suspicion they are wrong. My
apologies to Steven and Bob. Sorry, Joanne.
