Lepidolite is a potassium lithium aluminum silicate with a monoclinic crystal system and a hardness of 2.5 to 3. Its color is most often pink, purplish or lavender. Lepidolite has been found in Africa, Brazil, Greenland and the USA.

Lepidolite is effective in calming frayed nerves, helping one to release stress and worry, and setting one on the path of willing acceptance. Lepidolite not only brings calm to stormy emotional seas, it also provides an energy of enlightened awareness that keeps one “on the beam” so one can handle the situation in the highest way. Lepidolite is a stone of serenity. It encourages one to respond to hostility without putting up defenses, to find the path of harmonious action and to see problems as opportunities to learn. Lepidolite is also a stone of spiritual purification, and meditation with it can clear blocked energies in any of the chakras and throughout the meridian system.

It can dispel negative thoughts and remove negative emotional attachments.

Lepidolite harmonizes with other lithium-bearing minerals, such as Tourmaline, Kunzite, Petalite and Amblygonite. Its higher spiritual energies can be augmented by Phenacite, Azeztulite, Natrolite, Scolecite, Elestial Calcite and Merkabite Calcite. Its property of serenity can be further activated by Lemurian Seed Crystals and Aqua Lemuria.
