Its lilac color comes from traces of manganese. Its name combines the Greek \u003cem\u003elepidos\u003c\/em\u003e, “scale,” and \u003cem\u003elithos\u003c\/em\u003e, “stone,” in reference to its structure in thin layers. Fairly soft (2.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale), it should be stored away from shocks and friction. It is mined notably in Brazil, Madagascar, and Zimbabwe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn lithotherapy:\u003c\/strong\u003e it is associated with the third eye and crown chakras.
