PRODUCT INFORMATION


General Description

Lepidolite, a captivating member of the Mica group of minerals, is known for its lilac-grey or rose-coloured appearance. It stands as the most abundant Lithium-bearing mineral and serves as a secondary source of this valuable metal. As a phyllosilicate mineral, Lepidolite is part of the polylithionite-trilithionite series, contributing to its unique characteristics. Our collection features a delightful Lepidolite sourced from a newly established mine in Zimbabwe, which is then meticulously polished in South Africa. The material showcases a striking range of colours, spanning from red to purple, with remarkable consistency across all the pieces. This selection is characterized by its exceptional richness of colour, ensuring top-quality material. Lepidolite is renowned for its distinctive and unusual qualities, making it a truly funky and eye-catching addition to any collection. What sets it apart is its relative rarity, particularly in comparison to material from other regions. The affordability of this unique gem makes it an accessible choice for collectors and enthusiasts. Price is grade dependant. Items are as shown.
