Stunning Gem Lepidolite Cabochon, this piece is extremely shiny and reflective, which makes it very hard to photograph! It is rare to find compact Lepidolite sheet crystal solid enough to be able to be cut and polished into shapes, as normally they will flake apart. You will receive the exact crystal pictured. Lepidolite was originally known under a different name, Lilatite, after it's lilac colour. However it was later renamed from the Greek word for “scaley” - lepidos, due to the flakes of lithium. It has been traditionally used to relieve anxiety and depression, and it is regarded as an incredibly relaxing stone.
