A recent find of two initially separate appearing lithiophilite pods eventually was seen to be linked with a narrow connecting strand of lithiophilite. The maximum dimension of the two pods was a little over 1.5 m. The pods are surrounded by ball muscovite and the shape of the pods suggests an immiscible phosphate melt...
