If it were PURE lithium, it would be a shiny metal, in which case it would explode or fizzle in water. However, these are lithium crystals, so it could be Lithium Chloride, a crystalline salt, or any other non-reactive structure :) It's true though, it is odd it's called just 'Lithium', maybe its alien lithium...
