Lepidolite Heart - 1.5-1.8 inch

Lepidolite Heart is a polished puffed heart in soft lilac to pink-purple, with the fine, sparkling mica structure that gives the stone a subtle shimmer. Each Lepidolite Heart varies in tone and glitter, and the smooth domed shape sits comfortably in the palm or on a stand.

Lepidolite is traditionally associated with calm, stress relief, and restful sleep, and it is commonly kept as a soothing, settling stone. In heart form it is often held during meditation, kept by the bed, or given as a gentle, caring gift. Its soft lilac colour suits a bedside or quiet corner.

As a natural stone, each Lepidolite Heart differs in the depth of its lilac and the amount of mica sparkle, so no two pieces look exactly alike.

Geological Information
Lepidolite is a lithium-bearing mica of the phyllosilicate family, a potassium lithium aluminium silicate crystallizing in the monoclinic system with a Mohs hardness of 2.5 to 3. Its lilac to pink-purple colour comes from manganese, and its characteristic sparkle comes from the platy mica structure. It is one of the primary natural sources of lithium, the element used in modern batteries, and is named from the Greek lepidos, meaning scale. Sources include Brazil, Russia, the USA, Zimbabwe, and the Czech Republic.

AuturaSol Standard
Each natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.

Care Note
Lepidolite is very soft at Mohs 2.5 to 3 and has a layered mica structure that can flake or scratch easily, so handle it gently, keep it dry, and store it on its own away from harder stones and knocks.
