Lepidolite is a mineral within the mica group, sometimes gentle purple or generally pink in coloration. Based on crystal professional and co-founder of Power Muse Jewellery Heather Askinosie, lepidolite’s identify comes from the Greek phrase for “scale,” which is a reference to this stone’s scaly look.
“It comprises essentially the most lithium of some other mineral on Earth,” Askinosie tells mbg, including that lepidolite’s chemical composition makes it a prized mineral in metaphysical circles.
The stone is finest identified for being a chilled crystal, and Askinosie notes it is primarily present in Australia, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Russia, Sweden, and the US.
