Calkons Groups LLC is Located in Charlotte North Carolina, USA .
We have been doing business since 2015. Our main warehouse
and distribution center is located in Rwanda and Tanzania,Africa.
Our focus is mining and selling of raw minerals as Lithium ,Coltan,
and Beryllium
Lithium Ore /Spodumene / Lepidolite / Amblygonite / Petalite
Depending on buyer specification, it can be crush to 0-15 mm or 10-100 mm
Li2O 6.46% Base, Rejection below 3%
For any business with a need for an uninterrupted supply chain, Commodity 1 can fill that gap for you. We can fulfill your need for mica minerals, including biotite, muscovite, phlogopite, lepidolite, and K-spar. We have direct access to mica mines. Often, we offer the best prices in the market.. Commodity 1 supplies these products directly from the mine to the global market. There are no intermediaries involved, only our staff on the ground.

1. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE MINERAL MICA
Chemical Composition:
The general formula for mica group minerals is XY Z O (OH, F) :
X: Can be K, Na, Ba, Ca, Cs, (HO), or (NH).
Y: Includes Al, Mg, Fe, Li, Cr, Mn, V, and Zn.
Z: Comprises Si, Al, Fe, Be, and Ti.
The chemical properties of mica minerals vary depending on the specific type of mica. However, all micas are silica (SiO2), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and potassium oxide (K2O). Some micas may contain other elements, such as iron oxide (Fe2O3) and magnesium oxide (MgO). The following table shows the chemical composition of some common mica minerals:
Mica mineral SiO2 Al2O3 K2O Fe2O3 MgO
Muscovite 45.57 33.1 9.87 0 0
Biotite 47.7 30.9 3 10 3
Phlogopite 47.5 31 3 0 15
Of the 28 known species of mica, six are common rock-forming minerals:
Muscovite: The common light-colored mica.
Biotite: Typically black or nearly black.
Phlogopite: Typically brown.
Paragonite: Macroscopically indistinguishable from muscovite.
Lepidolite: Generally pinkish to lilac; occurs in lithium-bearing pegmatites.
Glauconite: A green species found sporadically in marine sedimentary sequences.
Lepidolite is a lilac-gray or rose-colored member of the mica group of minerals with chemical formula K(Li,Al) 3(Al,Si,Rb) 4O 10(F,OH) 2. It is the most abundant lithium-bearing mineral and is a secondary source of this metal. It is the major source of the alkali metal rubidium.
