Lepidolite is a lithium-rich member of the mica mineral group [K(Li,Al)₃(Si,Al)₄O₁₀(F,OH)₂], crystallizing in the monoclinic system at Mohs 2.5–3. Its characteristic lavender to lilac color results from manganese impurities. Lepidolite is a commercially significant lithium ore mineral, found primarily in granitic pegmatites where it grows in thin, flexible sheets with perfect basal cleavage. The micaceous habit produces a distinctive pearly luster on cleaved surfaces. These tumbled stones have been polished to smooth, rounded forms that highlight the stone's soft color and subtle shimmer. 1-pound lot.

Origin: Brazil  |  Crystal System: Monoclinic  |  Hardness: 2.5–3  |  Composition: K(Li,Al)₃(Si,Al)₄O₁₀(F,OH)₂

Metaphysically, lepidolite's natural lithium content has made it traditionally associated with emotional calm and stress reduction — a gentle heart chakra stone valued for its stabilizing energy.
