What is lepidolite used for?
Lepidolite is mostly used for decoration and for mineral collections.
What state does lepidolite come from?
California, to name one.
Were could rubidium currently be found?
Today, most rubidium is produced as a byproduct of the lithium refinement process. Rubidium was originally found in 1861 when Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff analyzed lepidolite.
Example of mica?
Many types of mica are known: biotite, lepidolite, muscovite, phlogopite, zinnwaldite, clintonite, illite, phengite.
Where can you find the element rubidium on earth?
Rubidium, being a very reactive metal, occurs naturally only in ionic compounds. It can be found in trace amounts of a lot of silicates. The three that most commonly contain small amounts of rubidium are pollucite, leucite, and zinnwaldite.
How Rubidium was discovered?
Go to Wikipedia- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubidium
What are examels of minerals?
There are more than 4,000 recognized minerals. Examples of minerals include halite, pyrite, hematite, calcite, gold, silver, quartz, feldspar, mica, gypsum, lepidolite, ruby, diamond, topaz, and graphite.
What are example of minerals?
Mica, clinoclase, pyrite, galena, diamond, graphite, calcite, quartz, tourmaline, azurite, lepidolite, orthoclase, plagioclase, beryl, vanadinite, apatite, lazurite, corundum, gypsum, malachite, aluminum, sulfur, hematite.
What type of element is rubidium?
Rubidium (Rb) occurs naturally in minerals such as Pollucite, Carnallite and Lepidolite.
Is limonite an igneous sedimentary or metamorphic rock?
Limonite is a recognized mineral by the IMA, although its chemical structure will vary. As a mineral, it is not classified as igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic in the manner of rock identification
What can amethyst scratch?

What 2 minerals are found in fine strands thin sheet's and irregular masses?
Muscovite and Phlogopite, along with Biotite and Lepidolite and many others are all minerals that cleave into thin sheets with a fair amount of flexibility. However, these minerals are all part of the silicate mineral group known as Micas. Slate can also be cleaved into thin sheets which are slightly flexible, but which are quite brittle. Graphite may also be expanded by chemical treatments to yield a flexible sheet known as graphite foil with interesting electrical and thermal properties.
