Collection: Lepidolite

Lepidolite is a lithium-rich mica, usually lilac, pink or purple. Its colour actually comes from traces of manganese, not lithium.

Varieties and Trade Names

It often has a flaky, glittery look from its stacked mica layers, and is commonly found alongside pink tourmaline and quartz. Tiny flakes of lepidolite also give some pink and purple aventurine its colour and sparkle.
