Figure 5
Li K-edge spectra of a Li-bearing tourmaline and three phyllosilicates. Elbaite displays a main peak (D) with two lower intensity pre-edge features. The main peak in lepidolite (D) resembles that of elbaite but is broader; they both are similar to Li2CO3. Zinnwaldite has an Fe M2,3-edge contribution which renders the low-energy part of the spectrum difficult to interpret but has a main peak (D) position similar to that of lepidolite and elbaite. Neptunite has both an Fe M2,3-edge and a Mn M2,3-edge overlapping the low-energy portion but also has a main peak (D) located at a similar position to the aforementioned minerals.
