Lepidolite

Lepidolite is a fascinating mica mineral, known for its beautiful pink to purple colors and shiny, flaky texture. With its unique chemical composition of potassium, lithium, aluminum and silicon, lepidolite stands out in both geology and industry. The high lithium content makes it a source for lithium extraction, which is important in modern technology such as batteries.

The mineral has its own characteristic pearl luster and is mainly found in granite pegmatites in hot, dry areas around the world, especially in countries such as Brazil, the USA, Russia, and some areas in Africa, and in rare cases also in Norway, especially in Telemark and the area around Sandnessjøen. As a complex lithium-aluminum silicate, lepidolite is both decorative and useful, and is also used in glass and ceramic production for its heat-resistant properties. This is a mineral for both collectors and the curious who want to learn more about the earth's unique treasures.

The stone is sold individually, and size and color will vary.
