A strand of approximately 38 cm of round faceted beads in lepidolite, blending pale lilac, rosy mauve, and touches of deep violet. In the light, the facets reveal fine pearly sparkles, a hallmark of this rare mica.
Characteristics:
Their 5 mm size is ideal for elastic bracelets, mid-length necklaces, and dangling earrings. Lepidolite’s violet pairs with silver for a fresh look, with gold for a warmer note, and with rose quartz or amethyst in tonal harmony.
A little gemology: lepidolite is a mica from the phyllosilicate family, rich in lithium, with an approximate formula K(Li,Al)₃(Al,Si,Rb)₄O₁₀(F,OH)₂. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, in thin stacked layers. Pure mineral is soft (2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, density of about 2.8); when cut into beads, lepidolite appears as compact rock, often associated with quartz, which gives it support. Its pink to violet color is due to manganese. Its name comes from the Greek lepidos, “scale,” in reference to its layered structure. It is mainly mined in Brazil, Madagascar, the United States, and Zimbabwe; it is also one of the historic lithium ores.
Good to know: lepidolite is sensitive to impacts and household products. Remove your jewelry before showering or exercising and clean it with a soft cloth.
In lithotherapy: lepidolite is associated with the third eye and crown chakras. Nicknamed the “stone of peace,” it is said to promote calm, help with sleep, and let go.
