In today’s article, we are going to cover Lepidolite’s meanings, metaphysical properties, uses and more.
Lepidolite is a lilac-grey (or rose-colored) crystal of the mica group of minerals with the chemical formula K 3 4O 10 2.
Lepidolite is the most abundant lithium-bearing mineral and is a secondary source of this metal. It is a phyllosilicate mineral and a member of the polylithionite-trilithionite series of gemstones.
Its crystal system is monoclinic, and the crystal class is prismatic. It’s rated between 2.5 and 3 on the Mohs hardness scale.
Since it’s a very soft and brittle stone that can only be cut, polished or shaped when it’s found within a Quartz body, finding suitable pieces for jewelry is rare, which is why Lepidolite jewelry is quite expensive.
What Is the Lepidolite Crystal Good for?
They say that Lepidolite is Libra’s stone, but what they mean is that Lepidolite is so good at keeping one’s balance and standing throughout life’s challenges that it very well could be called “Libra’s stone”.
Lepidolite truly is a majestic stone. It’s one of the most beautiful crystals that came out of Mother Earth’s core.
This is another of the reasons why it got assigned to Libra’s domain.
It’s soft pink and lilac hues with tiny sparkles really give off Aphrodite’s vibes.
But is it as potent as it’s beautiful? It is, it really is.
Lepidolite’s beauty is more than just superficial, it bestows emotional balance and releases stress. It soothes the nervous system and nurtures the Crown chakra.
It brings positivity to thought processes and it helps its wearer maintain mental and emotional balance through the storms of life.
Lepidolite brings hope in dark times and provides a sense of calm, no matter how challenging the circumstances can be.
Lepidolite enhances self-love, optimism, and patience in its wearer.
As well as beauty, health and the softness of the skin. It’s not a Venusian crystal for nothing.
Lepidolite really can center the wearer and bring forth inner calm and objectivity.
Since it’s also a beauty stone, keeping it near your beauty products can prove to be of great beneficial properties, especially products that care for skin and hair.
The Meaning of Lepidolite
This crystal was originally called “Lilalite” due to its lilac color. Eventually, the name changed from ‘Lilalite’ to ‘Lepidolite’.
This name is derived from the Greek term “lepidos” meaning ‘scale’, and “lithos” meaning ‘stone’.
The scales are symbolic of this stone’s ability to restore emotional balance and thus promote harmony in both your inner being and your external world.
They are also, yet another symbolic connection to the Zodiac sign of Libra.
You could say that Lepidolite doesn’t just hold a sacred connection to the Libra Zodiac sign, and thus Venus (Aphrodite) as well, but also that it contains Libra’s most valuable properties and charms.
Wearing a Lepidolite is like having a personal, pocket-sized Libra as a chip on your shoulder, except instead of antagonizing you and giving you anger issues, Lepidolite calms you down, restores your footing and mental balance.
Despite the stereotype, Lepidolite is an excellent choice of crystal for all Water and Fire signs as it helps with calming down and cooling off.
It can also be a great deal of help to Libras who have a lot of Fire and Water in their chart, in which case it really does wonders to restore their balance and peace of mind.
