	AMBLYGONITE (Lithium Sodium Aluminum Phosphate Fluoride Hydroxide)
		Amblygonite, as it turns out, is easily confused for other host rock members such as quartz and albite.
		The general appearance of amblygonite does resemble these two minerals especially the albite but it can be differentiated with a flame test for lithium, density and by its unusual cleavage.
		Amblygonite also forms a solid solution series with the often associated mineral montebrasite and differs from amblygonite by being richer in hydroxide instead of fluorine.

	amblygonite (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Amblygonite is a mineral usually found as cleavable or columnar, and compact masses; it is translucent and has a vitreous lustre, and the colour varies from white to pale shades of violet, grey, green or yellow.
		Amblygonite occurs with lepidolite, tourmaline, and other lithia-bearing minerals in pegmatite veins.
		It contains about 10% of lithia, and, since 1886, has been utilized as a source of lithium salts, the chief commercial sources being the Montebras deposits, and later the Californian.

		Amblygonite is a beautiful gem usually pale straw yellow.
		In general, it is thought that most yellow gems on the market are Amblygonite, and most colorless gems are Montebrasite, but this does not always hold true.
		The name Amblygonite is from the Greek words for blunt and angle, in reference to the shapes of the crystals.

		The energy of Amblygonite is very helpful for anyone pursuing the arts, music, poetry, prose, fiction, etc. It is indeed a mineral for the Creator in all of us, as it aids to unleash the creativity into a higher mode, one that can be actually seen and appreciated by others.
		Amblygonite is a lithium aluminum phosphate mineral with a hardness of six, and a pale yellow color.
		Amblygonite can help to ignite the creative spark, moving us forward on the path to the fulfillment of our higher purpose.

		Amblygonite was first by A. Breithaupt in Saxony in 1817.
		When powdered Amblygonite is put in a gas flame, it gives the flame a bright red color (this indicates the presence of Lithium).
		This is why Amblygonite is used as a source of lithium salts.

		The wavellite appeared in the familiar white to green radial crystals; the amblygonite was in clear to white nodular amorphous masses, somewhat resembling opal or chalcedony.
		He was able to collect a suite of mineral samples from the wall; the glassy botryoidal "amblygonite" was among the specimens obtained.
		Carter, of course, had been aware that amblygonite was primarily a pegmatite mineral and out of place at the Ross farm occurrence.

		Large masses of amblygonite and considerable amounts of mica are important constituents.
		Hesnard states that the active mining of the past three years indicates the deposit to be a shoot dipping northwest and that a rough stratification exists with mica, large masses of muscovite, and finer grained vermiculite and liebnerite with some quartz and feldspar near the base.
		Above this is a zone with amblygonite, quartz, beryl, etc. The top is mainly feldspar and quartz.

		This is a wonderful combination of gemstones, Amblygonite, Amethyst and Apatite, that just screamed at me (yes, the crystals and rocks often talk to me, but it is more frequently energy I feel talking to me than actual words).

		The name comes from the Greek for blunt and angle, a reference to the shape of the crystals.
		Amblygonite has a moderate hardness but the perfect cleavage in one direction prevents it from being a durable stone for rings.
		Pendants, pins and earrings would normally take less abuse but care would be needed during setting.

	Multistage growth of a rare-element, volatile-rich microgranite at Argemela (Portugal) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Its mineralogy consists predominantly of quartz, albite, white mica (partly replaced by lepidolite) and a phospate of the amblygonite series.
		Only a few narrow cross-cutting veinlets with quartz, K-feldspar and F-poor amblygonite are considered as fluid derived.
		A model of crystallization in successive steps is proposed where concentration in fluxing agents (F, Li, P, etc.) is progressively enhanced up to saturation with the crystallization of magmatic lepidolite and amblygonite.
