Lepidolite was first discovered in 1861 and originally called "lilalite" because of its lavender color. It was later named "lepidolite" from the Greek "lepidos"--which means "scale"--because of its scaly appearance caused by flakes of lithium.

Lepidolite is mined as a source of the element lithium along with other rare earth elements such as cesium and rubidium. It is an important source of lithium, the lightest metal in the world. Lithium is a well-known as a mood-stabilizing drug, commonly used in anti-depressants.

Lepidolite is one of the most powerful crystals to help with stress and worry when life feels turbulent and overwhelming. Its high lithium content provides serenity, helping you work through and dissolve any negative emotions rising within you.

The shape of the crystal changes its frequency: the more symmetrical the crystal, the higher the frequency. With spheres being the most symmetrical shape, crystal spheres emit a powerful, high-frequency healing energy which can be used in a variety of situations.
