Lepidolite Tumbles | Small

For a nervous system that's been running hot.

Lepidolite is a lilac mica, and it is a genuine lithium ore — the same element used in mood stabilising medication is present in the stone, chemically bound and not bioavailable, but present. It's one of the few crystals where the folk association and the chemistry point in the same direction.

It forms in flaky, layered masses that catch light like fish scales, which is where the name comes from: lepidos, Greek for scale.

Lepidolite is worked with for calm and for transition — it's the stone most often suggested for stress, anxious spells and difficult change. It sits with the heart, third eye and crown.

Sheri chooses every piece by hand, cleanses it, and charges it before it's packed here on the Gold Coast.

Soft and layered. It won't survive being dropped.
