Lepidolite Sphere with Quartz and Mica

Lepidolite is a crystal made up of potassium, lithium, aluminum and silicon and it’s most common colors are shades of purple, lavender, pink and gray. The raw form of Lepidolite is grainy due to it’s high content of mica which is instrumental in intensifying its properties.

Lepidolite is one of the most calming and soothing stones in the crystal kingdom.  This is because of it’s naturally occuring lithium (Li), a lightweight silver and white metal that is # 3 on the periodic table of elements. By the way, more than 50%  of the world’s lithium is found beneath the Salar De Uyuni Desert in Bolivia.  This multi functional metal (lithium) is used in medications, phones, ipods, watch batteries, airplanes, electric cars and heat resistent glass and ceramics.  In the 1970′s, lithium salts gained popularity as a main ingredient in tranquilizer and antidepressant medications. Today, lithium meds are still used for treating depression, agitation, aggression and bi-polar issues.

This delicate and gentle crystal requests that it be used only with your highest and best intentions. Lepidolite combats exhaustion, nightmares, mood swings and eases fears, anxiety, tension, anger, hatred, irritability, epilepsy, addictions (including anoxeria), hopelessness, digestion and menstrual issues.  It provides us freedom from restrictions and teaches us to love and accept ourselves. It sops up and absorbs negative energies around us and creates beneficial negative ions.  This is particularly helpful in offices, buildings and homes that exhibit poor air quality. The high vibration of Lepidolite counteracts electromagnetic pollution from tvs, computers and other electronics.  So, always keep a Lepidolite near your computer or TV stand.

It is interesting to note that this “Libra stone” is good for focusing, making decisions, achieving independence and setting goals, issues which can sometimes pose challenges to our Libra friends. ; > ) This lovely stone promotes diplomacy (another Libra trait) and provides guidance and direct communication in business endeavors.  It is also a great stone for astral journeying and contacting the Akashic Records.**

Lepidolite allows us to “see” and understand the behaviors and beliefs we had in prior lives that created the blockages that we brought into our current life.  This “stone of transition” encourages gentle changes to happen in our lives.  And…. When we are ready to leave this life, it provides a smooth departure and “move” to the spiritual realm.

Lepidolite has a very special health related “perk” that can benefit everyone.  When a Lepidolite crystal is placed on various parts of our body, it can detect energy blockages. The crystal will let us know where the energy is blocked by making a delicate reverberation at the area of the blockage.

Other healing properties of this wonderful stone include calming the nerves, heart and blood flow, easing leg cramps, stiff joints (including shoulders), allergies, sciatica and nerve pains.

For everyday stress and frayed nerves, we suggest holding, carrying, wearing  and /or  making an elixir with lepidolite ( the polished / tumbled Lepidolite) as a less expensive and more natural alternative to expensive prescription drugs that can have side effects.  You may want to place a piece of Lepidolite under your pillow or inside the pillowcase for a more restful sleep.

Try laying down with a piece of  lepidolite on your 3rd eye to relax and calm you.

Lepidolite essences have been known to eliminate wrinkles and soothe the skin while Lepidolite elixirs can ease the discomforts of menopause.  Actually, any gem elixir (“get stoned cocktail”) can provide the same benefits as holding, carrying or wearing the crystal.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Not every stone can be submerged directly into the water which is used to make an elixir.  Some stones are toxic. Raw stones that contain METAL (ie: Malachite, Azurite, Galena) should NEVER be placed directly in the water you drink..  The same is true for any stone that contains MINERALS THAT FLAKE( ie: RAW LEPIDOLITE).  Most polished/tumbled stones can be placed directly in the glass when making an elixir. When in doubt, use the non traditional method described on our “Crystals and Elixirs” page on our site.

Remember to use only tumbled / polished Lepidolite when making an elixir.

Now knowing  all the fabulous advantages of this “almost miraculous” Lovely Libra stone, you will want to grab yourself a handful of Lepidolite.

We have natural (raw) Lepidolite pieces for $3 and $12, tumbled Lepidolite for $2 and $4 and Lepidolite spheres for $55 and $60.

** The word “Akashic”  comes from the Sanskrit word “akasha” meaning ”sky” or “space”.  Based on a Hindu philosophy and assoociated with mystical and religious philosophies, the Akashic Records is believed to be a super “computer” or huge  ”library” which exists beyond our physical world.  Many people believe that this huge data base of information contains the knowledge of all human experiences and history of the universe and that it is always being updated.  We Earthly beings are able to access these records by out of body experiences, deep hypnosis or regression.
