Lepidolite Worry Stone - 0.75 inch

Lepidolite Worry Stone, small and neatly domed, with a thumb hollow that takes up most of one face given how little surface there is to work with. The colour is a soft lilac shading toward pink-purple, and the platy mica structure catches light in fine flat glints across the surface rather than in a single sheen. At this size the stone disappears into a closed hand entirely, which is much of its appeal as a carry piece.

Lepidolite is traditionally associated with settling an overactive mind and is one of the stones most often reached for around sleep. It is commonly kept on a bedside table, held during breathing practice, or slipped into a pocket for a situation someone already knows will be tense. The very small format suits that last use in particular, since it can be held without anyone noticing it is there.

Geological Information
Lepidolite is a lithium-bearing mica, chemically a potassium lithium aluminium silicate, crystallising in the monoclinic system at Mohs 2.5 to 3. Its characteristic lilac to pink-purple colour comes from manganese content, and the mineral also occurs colourless, yellow and grey. The distinctive sparkle is structural rather than an inclusion effect, produced by the platy mica layers that give the mineral its name, from the Greek lepidos meaning scale. Lepidolite is one of the primary sources of lithium in the Earth's crust, the same element that powers lithium-ion batteries, and it is commonly found in association with tourmaline. It was used historically in Chinese folk medicine. Commercial material is sourced from Brazil, Russia, the USA, Zimbabwe and the Czech Republic.
