The writer, himself, saw, not the crystal, but its impres- sion in the side of the mountain after it had been removed.
Spodumene is a silicate of aluminium and lithium and is the source of a greater portion of lithis, the chief use of which is in the manufacture of lithia water said to be a solvent for uric acid in the system.
