  • Pollucite is usually found as colorless, grey, and rarely pink. It forms in a hexoctahedral crystal system.
  • Its typical occurrence is in lithium-rich granite pegmatites in association with quartz, spodumene, petalite, amblygonite, lepidolite, elbaite, cassiterite, columbite, apatite, eucryptite, muscovite, albite and microcline. It was first described in 1846 for occurrences on Elba Island, Italy, it is named for Pollux (mythology), the twin of Castor on the grounds that it is often found associated with petalite (previously known as castorite).

  • Pollucite is usually found as colorless, grey, and rarely pink. It forms in a hexoctahedral crystal system.
  • Its typical occurrence is in lithium-rich granite pegmatites in association with quartz, spodumene, petalite, amblygonite, lepidolite, elbaite, cassiterite, columbite, apatite, eucryptite, muscovite, albite and microcline. It was first described in 1846 for occurrences on Elba Island, Italy, it is named for Pollux (mythology), the twin of Castor on the grounds that it is often found associated with petalite (previously known as castorite). Francium occurs in trace quantities in certain pollucite ores, and some of the initial and much-disputed discoveries involved the spectral analysis of pollucite, showing unexplained lines that could only be explained by the existence of a new element.
