Botryoidal Lepidolite Crystal Raw Specimen - One of a Kind, 4.75 In #3

This raw lepidolite has rounded lavender bubbles over its surface that you can feel with a fingertip.

The lavender color carries a mica shine, so the bubbles catch light as you turn the piece, as the close up photo shows. It is wide and fairly low, about 4.75 by 4.5 inches across and just over 3 inches tall, which makes it stable on a coffee table, a desk or a mineral shelf, and nice to view from above. Lepidolite is the most abundant lithium mineral on Earth, and lithium is the metal behind rechargeable batteries, so it doubles as a conversation piece. It makes a thoughtful gift for a collector, a science lover or anyone drawn to purple. This is the exact specimen shown.

The specimen is about 4.75 by 4.5 inches and about 3.125 inches tall. Look at the ruler and hand photos for scale.

About Botryoidal Lepidolite

Lepidolite is a lithium bearing mica and the most abundant lithium mineral on Earth, and its lilac to pink purple color comes from trace manganese. Botryoidal means having the form of a bunch of grapes, from the Greek botrys. Like other micas, lepidolite is soft, about 2.5 to 3 on the Mohs scale, and its mica flakes give it a shimmer.

Stone Meaning: Lepidolite is traditionally associated with calm and transition.
