| Description/Abstract | Six samples of biotite schist from a site near Pringle, South Dakota, contained from 140 to 750 parts per million lithium.^These values are far greater than are found in mica schists in most of the rest of the southern Black Hills.^The lithium may have emanated from concealed lithium pegmatite, and such pegmatite can be of interest as a possible source of rare minerals, especially tantalite and beryl.^Whether making a full test of the anomaly will become economically judicious is much less clear.^18 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs. |
