Botryoidal Lepidolite Raw Crystal - Lavender Mica, 5 Inch #6

Botryoidal lepidolite grows in rounded lavender bubbles, and this raw specimen has them spread across its top.

This piece is about 5 inches long, 2.5 inches wide and 3 inches tall, with its bubble texture spread across the top and a shimmer from the mica throughout. It is raw and natural, with no polish, which keeps those rounded forms crisp and tactile. It works well on a bookshelf, a desk or alongside other minerals in a display. Lepidolite is the most abundant lithium mineral on Earth, and its lilac color comes from trace manganese. It makes a thoughtful gift for a purple lover, a collector of unusual textures or a science minded friend. This is the exact specimen shown.

The specimen is about 5 by 2.5 by 3 inches. Look at the ruler photo for scale.

About Botryoidal Lepidolite

Lepidolite is a lithium bearing mica, the most abundant lithium mineral on Earth, and its lilac to pink purple color comes from trace manganese. Botryoidal describes rounded masses in 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 flakes give it a satiny shine.

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