A stone of emotional support as well as enlightenment, Lepidolite is a rare lithium-rich mica. Lithium is a fairly well-known term but the information surrounding its origin for medicinal use might be a little less widespread. Lithium for healing purposes dates back to the early Native Americans who used the lithium-rich springs as healing water that promoted community wellness and improved mental functions. Early settlers took notice of the effects this magical water had on the community and set up shop around these amazing mineral-rich springs. Over time, the effects of the third element in the periodic table became associated with emotional stability and increased mental faculties. With clarity of mind and logic ruling actions, the communities which lived near the spring seemed to flourish. 

Lepidolite holds the energy of this calming mineral and promotes the clarity of mind needed to understand our emotions on the deepest level. Paving the way for true growth, healing, and comfort. The flat, reflective formations of this mineral allow us to look deep within to embrace what we need and reflect on all that we don’t. This crystal stabilizes our energy in a way that allows us to connect to the deepest parts of our true self.
