This listing is for a piece of Lepidolite, aka Purple Mica, display specimen 100% natural.

Lepidolite is a lilac-gray or rose-colored member of the mica group of minerals.  Lepidolite is found naturally in a variety of colors, mainly pink, purple, and red, but also gray and, rarely, yellow and colorless. Because lepidolite is a lithium-bearing mica, it is often wrongly assumed that lithium is what causes the pink hues that are so characteristic of this mineral. Instead, it is trace amounts of manganese that cause the pink, purple, and red colors.

Details:

• gemstone: Lepidolite

• weight: 281 g
