- Lithium (Li), element 3.
- The softest and least dense of all metals. Often found dissolved in seawater or in pegmatite deposits, especially near thermal vents.
- Useful in lubricants, batteries, advanced glass, nano-welding, quantum physics, and anti-aging drugs. Also a budget air-cleaning element on spacecraft.
- Lithium’s role in this world’s biosphere is unknown. In humans it has historically been used as an antidepressant. Despite the advent of cognitive connectome therapy, lithium is still used as a folk remedy on some worlds, despite the risk of permanent side effects.
