Lepidolite is a rare lilac coloured mineral belonging to the mica family.  This mineral is famed for being rich in lithium, but it is manganese inclusions that cause the pink, purple and red hues characteristic of Lepidolite.  This gemstone can display a range of colors, from deep plums to pale lilacs. It is often found included in large quartz segments.  This stunning purple stone was originally discovered in the 1700s, where it was named 'Lilalite' because of its lovely lilac colouring.  Its new name "Lepidolite" was derived from the Greek word "lepidos" (meaning scales) because of its flakes of Lithium which resembled scales.  The word "scale" is also apt when referring to Lepidolite, as this stone is believed to help balance the scale of emotions we feel on a daily basis.
