About lepidolite
Lepidolite is a lithium-rich mica, typically lilac, pink, or purple, with a pearly to vitreous luster and a platy, micaceous structure. It often occurs in massive aggregates or fine-grained plates within lithium-bearing pegmatites. With Mohs hardness around 2.5–4 and perfect basal cleavage, it is relatively soft and flaky, best suited for cabochons, beads and carvings rather than faceted jewelry.
