MetalsCost Lithium Day

MetalsCost marks August 12 for lithium. Johan August Arfwedson discovered it in 1817 while analyzing petalite ore, but no single day within that year was verified, so this date is an evenly-spaced content-calendar placeholder.

MetalsCost Editorial Day — not an official international or industry observance. No single verified discovery or founding date exists for this metal, so MetalsCost assigned an evenly-spaced content-calendar date rather than inventing a claimed "day."
