Origin & Traditional Use

Lepidolite is a lilac to purple mica mineral that contains lithium. It is mined as an ore of lithium, and in crystal practice it is used as a calming stone for anxiety, sleep and emotional balance.

Uses in the Work

Use it to calm the mind before trance, meditation and astral work, especially if anxiety or racing thoughts block contact. Place it under the pillow during dreamwork to soften disturbing dreams while keeping them vivid. Hold it after a heavy evocation to come back down and to settle nervous energy, and use it in workings to quiet gossip or soothe a volatile situation.

Lore

Lepidolite takes its name from the Greek lepidos, “scale”, for its flaky, mica-like layers. It naturally contains lithium, which is why modern crystal practice links it with calm and emotional balance. In the old lapidaries it was little known, and it came into magical use only in the twentieth century.

What You Receive

Lepidolite is known as one of the best mood stablizers because it contains a high amount of lithium, which aids in anxiety.
