A metamorphic rock called emery that is mostly made of corundum which is an aluminum oxide. This is an example of an aluminum deposit. Aluminum is the third most abundant element in the lithosphere at 82,000 ppm. It occurs in low levels, 0.9 ppm, in humans. [1] Aluminum is known to be an ecotoxicant and expected to be a health risk to people.
