Lepidolite is in the mica group of minerals and contains good amounts of lithium which makes it a beneficial healing stone. While many people believe it is the amount of lithium that creates its specific color, its exact color does depend on the amount of manganese in the stones.

Lepidolite is a stone of calm, trust, and acceptance. It is extremely useful in the reduction of depression as well as stress. It is used to halt obsessive thoughts, and relieves despondency, as well as overcomes insomnia. Lepidolite is supportive in releasing one from addictions and complains of all kinds, including anorexia. This stone encourages independence and protects from any number of external influences when it comes to setting and following your priorities. It is of great help to relieve the consequences of everyday stress. Placed near the pillow, it promotes peaceful sleep without bad dreams and nightmares. In combination with rose quartz, lepidolite becomes stone of renewed love.

It is sometimes used to increase spirituality, or increase the desire to seek spirituality. Carried often as a touchstone, simply due to it’s calming properties, it is also known to attract good luck, and drive off negativity – although it protective qualities are not superior. Lepidolite is considered a reassuring gemstone for those who may be new to psychic work, have had bad experiences with it, or who as a child may have dabbled with Ouija boards, played with tarot cards, or held seances not quite understanding their meaning. Lepidolite will offer a strong screen against negative energies. To promote a restful nights sleep free of nightmares, place Lepidolite near the headboard or under the pillow
