Colour ranges through lilac and pink-purple, and the surface carries the fine, scaly sparkle of the platy mica structure that gives Lepidolite its shimmer. The rounded, tactile form of the Lepidolite Freeform sits easily in the hand or on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLepidolite is traditionally valued as one of the gentler calming stones, commonly kept by the bedside or carried through demanding periods for its soothing, quieting reputation. It is often associated with rest and easier sleep, and many people hold a piece during wind-down or reflection. A freeform is a natural choice for this, offering a smooth, weighty stone to keep within reach on a nightstand or work surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause it is sold by weight as a natural material, each Lepidolite Freeform varies in shape, size and the balance of its lilac and pink tones, and the photographs show representative pieces from the lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Calm \u0026amp; Stress Relief\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Sleep \u0026amp; Dreams\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Crown, Third Eye\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Libra, Pisces\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rabbit, Goat\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Jupiter\u003cbr\u003eElements: Air, Water\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 2.5-3\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Phyllosilicate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural Lepidolite\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Brazil\u003cbr\u003eForm: Freeform\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 37-75 mm (1.4-2.9 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 83-233 g \u003cbr\u003eListing: Sold by weight, minimum 1 kg (2.2 lb); approximately 5 to 8 pieces per kilogram\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLepidolite is a lithium-bearing member of the mica family (potassium lithium aluminium silicate, Mohs 2.5-3, monoclinic system). Its lilac to pink-purple colour comes from manganese, though it also occurs colourless, yellow and grey, and its characteristic sparkle is produced by the platy mica structure. It is one of the principal sources of lithium in the Earth's crust, the same element that powers modern lithium-ion batteries, and is frequently found in association with tourmaline. The name comes from the Greek lepidos, meaning scale, a reference to its scaly appearance. Principal sources include Brazil, along with Russia, the USA, Zimbabwe and the Czech Republic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
