Is this quartz or polylithionite?

Posted: Apr 07, 2022 22:19 Post subject: Is this quartz or polylithionite?

I had an xrd analysis done on this specimen to help ID it. I had them run the two different colors separate. According to the analysis the brownish area comes up as 98% quartz and
2% corundum and the green area comes up as quartz and polylithionite-1/ITM/RG, Fe-rich K (Li,Al,Fe) 3 Si4 010 (F, OH)2. I have researched the heck out of polylithionite and that appears to be the mineral mica but there is no mica seen in this mineral so what am I missing here?
