Lithium and how everything is connected to everything

I recently bought eight settings of dishes from East Fork. It is beautiful, and they care about things I care about, and it will last... forever? Worth the money, on many levels, I think. Here was interesting news.

We’ve switched our glaze formula because our current glaze contains Petalite: a mineral that contains lithium. As the battery industry has grown they have started to buy up all minerals containing lithium. First the price for any material containing lithium exploded, then the supply chain dried up completely. The disappearance of this mineral forced us to quickly switch formulas.
