Lepidolite is a violet-pink, lithium-rich mica. Its name comes from the Greek translation of ‘scale’, which is a direct reference to its scaly appearance. Lepidolite promotes successful outcomes, self-confidence and imagination. This stone is also extremely useful in the reduction of stress and depression. It halts obsessive thoughts, relieves despondency, helps dispel worry, overcomes insomnia and soothes anger, hatred or any other negative emotions. One of the best mood stabilisers in the world of gemstones, its crystals contain high levels of lithium, which is also a key ingredient in anti-anxiety medication. Lepidolite clears electromagnetic pollution and can be placed on computers to absorb their emanations.
