It is a member of the \"Feldspathoid\" group. Petalite was first discovered in 1800 by the Brazilian mineralogist JB de Andradae Silva (1763-1838). Its name derives from the Greek words petalon, meaning leaf, (an allusion to its distinctive leaf-like, perfect basal cleavage) and lithos, meaning stone. The discovery of lithium was actually a result of petalite. In 1817, Swedish druggist Johann Arfvedson was analysing petalite ore and discovered the lithium within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetalite resembles masses of feldspar and can be easily confused with feldspar. Distinguishing the two is usually done by optical tests. In flame tests, petalite gives off the red flame characteristic of lithium. Petalite crystals have a glassy appearance and occur as tabular or columnar prisms with a vitreous to pearly lustre. They can be transparent to translucent and display a fluorescent iridescence. Petalite stones are found in a wide range of colours, from colorless to white, grey, green, greenish-white, yellow, yellow-grey, pink, reddish, and reddish-white. Petalite rates a 6 on the Moh’s hardness scale. It also has a very brittle fracture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetalite usually occurs in lithium-bearing granite pegmatites alongside minerals such as Tourmaline, Lepidolite, Spodumene and feldspars.
