|---|---|
| Description | Amblygonite, (Li,Na)AlPO4(F,OH), is a relatively common phosphate mineral. It is found in lithium- and phosphate-rich pegmatites as a primary mineral. It may be a major rock former but is often overlooked because it is hard to distinguish from other minerals such as quartz and albite. |
