Weight and size of gemstones may still very slightly due to difference in calibration of weighing and measuring scales.)
Spodumene is a mineral that belongs to the pyroxene group. It is typically found in igneous and metamorphic rocks and is often associated with lithium-rich pegmatites, which are coarse-grained igneous rocks that form in the final stages of crystallization from a cooling magma. Spodumene is prized for its economic importance as a primary source of lithium, a valuable element used in various industries, particularly in batteries for electronic devices and electric vehicles.
Key characteristics of spodumene include:
Color: Spodumene can occur in various colors, including green, yellow, pink, and even colorless. The green variety is usually due to the presence of trace amounts of chromium or iron.
Crystal Structure: Spodumene crystals are often prismatic in shape, with long, slender crystals that can exhibit well-defined facets. These crystals can grow quite large in some cases.
Cleavage: Spodumene has distinct cleavage planes along which it can be easily split into thin, flexible sheets.
Luster: The luster of spodumene can vary from vitreous (glassy) to pearly.
Hardness: Spodumene has a hardness of around 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, making it relatively durable and suitable for use in jewelry.
Transparency: Depending on the variety, spodumene can be transparent to translucent.
Lithium Content: The most significant feature of spodumene is its lithium content. Lithium is an essential element in rechargeable batteries, and spodumene has become a crucial source for lithium extraction.
Gemstone Use: Gem-quality spodumene is sometimes faceted and used as a collector's gemstone. The pink to purple variety of spodumene is known as kunzite, while the green variety is called hiddenite.
Industrial Applications: Beyond its use as a gemstone, spodumene is a valuable industrial mineral. It is processed to extract lithium, which is used in lithium-ion batteries, ceramics, glass, and other applications.
Spodumene's varied colors, unique crystal habit, and economic importance make it a fascinating and important mineral in both the mineralogical and industrial worlds.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
