Need a ref, as the references in the article don't say that.
Mindat says A mineral in the so-called Polylithionite-Trilithionite series. Cheers,

"Polymorphism & Series: 1M, 2M2; 3A polytypes common; 2M1; 3M2 rare; a group name".
Handbook of Mineralogy
OK Handbook has that "group name" tucked in after the polytype line; Min Atlas has it in single 's and no IMA classif. But, it would seem we need a definitive ref stating when the IMA decided it was not a mineral ... Seems they dictate some odd things at times :)
