Color: Varies from white, gray, greenish, yellowish, or pinkish, depending on the ore type.
Luster: Vitreous to pearly.
Transparency: Opaque to translucent.
Density & Specific Gravity:
Spodumene: Perfect cleavage in two directions
Lepidolite: Perfect basal cleavage
Petalite: Perfect cleavage in one direction
Amblygonite: Good cleavage in one direction
Tenacity:
White or colorless for most lithium ores.
Magnetism & Conductivity:
Non-magnetic.
Poor electrical and thermal conductor.
Reactivity:
Lithium ores are stable under normal conditions but react with strong acids to release lithium ions.
Additional Notes:
Spodumene is the most commercially important lithium ore due to its high lithium content (~5-8% LiO).
Lepidolite is a significant source of lithium but contains a lower lithium concentration (~3-5% LiO).
Petalite is valued for its low iron content, making it useful for ceramic and glass applications.
Amblygonite has lower economic significance but contains both lithium and phosphorus.
Li Metal is high pure lithium metal for the application of Li batteries as anode and cathode materials. The products are covered from lithium metal ingot to the processed products such as ingot, ultra thin foil (sheet), thin foil inlayed Cu foil, Chip, powder, and alloy, For price and specifications please contact us

PRICE : Discount 7% from SMM/Asia Platts (No VAT or Customs Tax. CFR Price) (Li2O%)=Li% X Discount 7 % X SMM/Asia Platts
For Example Li2O 6% , Discount with 7% , SMM Li 99.99% 69,800.64 USD Li2O 6% = Li 2.7784 %
0.02784 x 0.93 x 69,800.64 USD = 1807.22 USD per DRY METRIC TON,
SHIPMENT : First Shipment in April 2022 in 20 footer containers
TRIAL QUANTITY : 100 MT+/- 10%
MONTHLY QUANTITY: up to 2, 000 metric tons.
THE MINER ADDS ON THIS UPDATED PRESENTATION THESE COMMENTS:
WE AS THE MINERS changed pricing and discounting in this FCO. If you remember WE gave 15% from SMM before and this was not good for some clients or some of them couldnâ??t understand it, because there was 13% VAT at SMM lithium metal and now I did just for Lithium ore Spodumene, no VAT or Customs taxes. It is easy and pure price in blue above. You can see pure Lithium Ore spodumene prices
