Lepidolite is a purplish type of mica rich in lithium. Sometimes it is found
with inclusions of Pink Tourmaline crystals.

Magickally use Lepidolite to increase psychic awareness. Place a piece on
on your altar between yellow or blue candles. Settle down before this and
meditate to break hold of conscious mind on subconscious.

Lepidolite is also used for stress reduction and to alleviate despondency. It
is a stone of transition to gently induce change and smooth the passage of
change. Not only changes during physical lifetime, but also the changes from
one life to another. Helps to understand and facilitate departure from
physical to spiritual domain.

It is helpful for insomniacs. Place a piece near the head of your bed to promote
peaceful sleep, free of nightmares.

The high lithium content of Lepidolite aids emotional and mental balance and stability.

Astrological Sign Libra.

Lepidolite can be hard enough to tumble or shape into spheres or other shapes,
but can also crumble on touch. It is not often found as jewelry, however the
harder pieces can be shaped into beads or cabochons. Probably best in its
natural unpolished state or as tumbled specimen to carry in pocket.
