Collection: Lepidolite

Lepidolite is a phyllosilicate mineral and a member of the mica group. It's known for its rich lilac or rose-violet color, which is attributed to the high levels of lithium contained within its structure. This mineral is commonly found in granitic rocks and pegmatites, and it's often associated with other lithium-bearing minerals like tourmaline and spodumene. Lepidolite is not just admired for its beauty, it is also an important source of lithium, which plays a crucial role in the production of batteries, ceramics, and several pharmaceutical products. Despite its softness, which limits its use in jewelry, lepidolite continues to captivate gem and mineral enthusiasts worldwide.
