Lepidolite
Science & Origin of Lepidolite
Lepidolite is a lithium-rich mica mineral, a member of the phyllosilicate group. It is best known for its soft lavender, lilac, rose-pink and pale grey hues, often intergrown with quartz, tourmaline and spodumene. Its colour comes from trace lithium and manganese within its sheet-like crystal structure. It has a Mohs hardness of 2.5–4, which makes it soft and foliated; it easily splits into thin, flexible sheets. Lepidolite is the primary mineral source of lithium. It forms in pegmatite veins, typically alongside other rare minerals. Major mining locations include Brazil, Madagascar, the USA, Portugal and Zimbabwe. Many lepidolite specimens contain visible flakes of mica that shimmer gently when moved.
