GORGEOUS LILAC GRANDMOTHER STONE ROCK SAMPLE

LEPIDOLITE IS A GORGEOUS MINERAL. WITH ITS SOFT LILAC COLOUR AND SOOTHING ENERGY, LEPIDOLITE IS A STARTLINGLY BEAUTIFUL STONE.
LEPIDOLITE, WHILE OFTEN FOUND IN SMALL PIECES WITHIN LARGER PIECES OF QUARTZ, IS ACTUALLY A FORM OF MICA.
MICA IS THE STONE THAT IS BEING GROUND TO POWDER TO MAKE MANY BEAUTIFUL COLORFUL EYESHADOWS AND OTHER COSMETIC PRODUCTS. THE MICAS ARE PHYLLOSILICATE MINERALS, AND THEIR MAIN PROPERTY ARE THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IGNEOUS VOLCANIC IN ORIGEN THEY ARE COMPRISED OF FLAT SHEETS AND GET STACKED IN LAYERS OR BOOKS. LEPIDOLITE IS MADE UP OF MICA AND LITHIUM. LEPIDOLITE IS LITERALLY CRYSTALLIZED LITHIUM, THE SAME MINERAL USED IN ANTIDEPRESSANT MEDICATION, BUT IN ITS PURE FORM AS IT COMES OUT OF THE EARTH.
IN PARTICULAR THIS SAMPLE SHOWS LAYERS OF BLACK BIOTITE WHICH IS A RICH IN IRON MICA FOUND IN IGNEOUS ROCKS.
EASY TO IDENTIFY: THERE ARE OTHER PURPLE ROCKS OUT THEIR LIKE AMETHYST BUT LEPIDOLITE IS EASY TO IDENTIFY. WHEN YOU SEE A LAYERED (PANCAKE STACKS) PURPLE ROCK WITH MICA (GRAY BLACK STREAKS OF BIOTITE) THAT ON TOP OF THAT FEELS SOFT TO THE TOUCH IT IS PROPABLY LEPIDOLITE.
LEPIDOLITE IS SOFT WITH ONLY A 2.5 TO 3.5 ON THE MOHSHARDNESS SCALE. YOU WILL FEEL IT SOFT TOUCH IF YOU ARE LUCKY TO BUY IT.
IT HAS BEEN USED AS A SOURCE OF LITHIUM FOR A LONG TIMEAND IS A HIGHLY USEFUL METAL FOR MANY REASONS.
LEPIDOLITE IS FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD, BUT THE LILACVARIETY IS MAINLY FOUND IN THE COUNTRY OF ZIMBABWE WHERE THIS SAMPLE PROPABLY COMESFROM.
