Lepidolite is a lilac or rose-coloured mica mineral, the most abundant source of the element lithium. It is this lithium content that contributes significantly to the stone's powerful mood-stabilising and calming metaphysical properties. It typically exhibits a layered structure and a pearly lustre. Due to its softness and perfect cleavage, it is often polished into spheres, palm stones, and carefully set into delicate jewellery rather than faceted.

Lepidolite is known as the "Stone of Transition and Peace." It is one of the most effective crystals for soothing the emotional body, quickly dissolving stress, anxiety, and depression. It gently encourages release from old behavioural patterns, promoting independence and objective thinking. It facilitates spiritual transition, helping the user to recognise their destiny and providing deep emotional healing and relief during times of major change.

Hardness: 2.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale (it is a very soft mineral and easily damaged).

Chakra: Primarily the Heart Chakra (for emotional healing) and the Third Eye/Crown Chakras (for awareness and spiritual connection).

Zodiac Sign: Libra, Aquarius, and Pisces.

Benefits: Provides profound stress relief and emotional calm, quickly dissolves anxiety, depression, and mood swings, aids in transition and releasing old habits, promotes independence and objective thinking, and enhances spiritual awareness and cosmic connection.

Source: Brazil (main source), USA, Canada, Madagascar, Japan, Australia.
