Lepidolite With Tourmaline Towers 2-4"

Lepidolite

SCIENCE / MINERALOGY
Lepidolite is a traditional name for lithium-rich mica, most commonly material in the polylithionite–trilithionite compositional series rather than one single modern mineral species. It occurs in lavender, lilac, pink, gray, white, and occasionally yellow or green platy masses and mica books.

GEOLOGY & FORMATION
Lithium-rich mica forms in highly evolved granitic pegmatites where late-stage melts concentrate lithium, fluorine, cesium, rubidium, and other incompatible elements. It commonly occurs with spodumene, tourmaline, quartz, feldspar, amblygonite, and other rare pegmatite minerals. Major sources include Brazil, Madagascar, the United States, Zimbabwe, and Afghanistan.

METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES
Lepidolite is traditionally associated with calm, emotional balance, transition, reflection, and reducing mental overstimulation. Its layered mica structure gives it symbolism of gently separating one concern from another rather than treating everything as one overwhelming problem.
