Where did humans first find dilithium crystals?

Geez, I was just there recently and somehow missed that. Anyway, very cool that a guy as young as you is a successful author. Kudos!

It's easy to miss. It's way in the back of the lower level of the gift shop.

I'm older than I look...

^Well, that may be, but kudos none the less. Being absolutely devoid of any artistic talent, I have great admiration for anyone that has some - especially if they parley it into personal success.

Hoe long ago was that picture taken, Christopher? I have not been to that gift shop in over 5 years.

Wouldn't the Vulcans already be using Dilithium in their own Warp Ships? They may have gotten the first Dilithium from them.

Okay, all you creative retconning types: What's the in-universe explanation for "lithium" crystals in "Mudd's Women" suddenly becoming "dilithium" later in TOS?

I had to look that up too.. Lithium was a precursor to dilithiom. Before a mining process.
