How common or rare is Lithium?

Answer 1

Very rare, it can only be found in the caves of OuterMongolia where you must follow the Khangai mountain range, along the river Selenge to Lake BAikal. You must dive into lake and find an opening within the Lake Bed, which will lead through a maze of tunnels to a ledge, you must abseil the shear rock face 400ft, where the rock over hangs. Once you have passed the over hang, you must follow the narrow ledge to the great opening. The great opening has pockets of petroleum which store the Lithium in, be-careful not to expose the Li to the air in the cave or it will react with the Oxygen and become useless, turning from a shiny metal to a dull grey colour. You can only carry limit amounts back with you as it is a traitorous journey back to the surface and the additional weight can mean the difference between life and death!
