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 \u003cem\u003elepidos\u003c\/em\u003e, “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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e lepidolite is sensitive to impacts and household products.
