<p></p>
<p>Old recipes typically call for spodumene concentrate, either Gwalia Australian or Foote from North Carolina - neither name currently exists.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The Foote mine was exhausted some years ago and the Sons of Gwalia mining company, founded and originally managed by pre-President Herbert Hoover, became insolvent in 2004 and is no more. Talison currently mines the Gwalia Greenbushes spodumene mine and sells it through a number of distributors who use different marketing names.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Digitalfire has five or so different analyses for spodumene concentrates. You could compare your spodume analysis with the Australian spodumene above. Our 20 year old bag of Gwalia is half-full, so I'll face the same sourcing problem when it's empty.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If your bag is from the old Gwalia mine, it could be labelled Talison, or Chengdu Tianqi the Chinese company which is currently acquiring Talison and their former Gwalia Greenbushes mine.</p>
