Spring on Jupiter is delightful! The way the helium3 layer playful mixes with the metallic lithium layer… majestic.

Doubtful. Jupiter’s atmosphere is almost exclusively comprised of hydrogen and regular helium (helium-4). Helium-3 mainly forms due to nuclear fusion processes (like in our sun) and Jupiter’s core isn’t hot enough for that. There is also no “lithium layer”, lithium is maybe a trace element on Jupiter but not something you’d regularly see outside of the core.
