You:

“If you ignore the fact that spodumene isn’t lithium…

and the fact that children aren’t mining it…

and the fact that it isn’t happening enough to be relevant to the conversation…

Then I’m totally right!”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spodumene

Spodumene is a pyroxene mineral consisting of lithium aluminium inosilicate, LiAl(SiO3)2

What's that? The lithium is inside the mineral that's... Mined?

As of 2019, around half of lithium is extracted from mineral ores, which mainly consist of spodumene.

Damn, that's very rare, isn't it?
