Does mixed phases of these minerals exist as in silicates (for example lepidolite the Li-rich and biotite the Li-free end member of Li-Fe-micas)?
In order to measure the amount of Li in the rocks, 0.5 g of homogenized specimen powder (50 – 100 µm) were digested with 10.5 ml of 36 % HCL and 3.5 ml of 96 % HNO3 and heated for hours at 95°C....
