Polylithionite is found throughout the pegmatite dikes in the nepheline syenites. Named for the high amount of lithium it contains, tablets up to 4 inches are often found, usually associated with steenstrupine, aegirine and analcime.
The plates of polylithionite are a light greenish color, and fluoresce a brilliant yellow/white under SW UV light.
Fine examples can be found in combination with sodalite and analcime resulting in wonderful 3 or 4 color specimens.
