Lepidolite Meaning

Lepidolite encourages us to take personal responsibility for our lives and to take the necessary steps to transform ourselves into the magnificent person we were born to be. It lights the way to freedom, releasing us from the chains of the past. It helps us to find our deepest center, the place where we are most secure and powerful and to live from this place. It balances our emotional highs and lows and helps us be more steady. When we are stressed or feel despair, Lepidolite brings us hope and self-love. It encourages us to protect ourselves while also trusting that the world is good place. If we have been traumatized, Lepidolite pushes us towards self-healing, rather than waiting for someone else to fix us. It reminds us that often our struggles against feeling pain, cause more fuss and trouble than is necessary. Lepidolite encourages us to calmly deal with the original injury without flinching or looking away. Lepidolite gives us courage to face our shadows and to heal them fully. It reduces the power of other people’s negative influences. It also encourages us to let go of any attachment to emotional drama and trauma, and to stop wearing them as a badge of pride or refusing to recognize our own role in their creation. Lepidolite invites us to laugh more, be discerning and not take life so seriously.

Lepidolite is a wonderful stone during times of transition. It helps us to restructure, reorganize and make new habits. Lepidolite encourages us to make good goals, be realistic, prioritize and stay focused and diligent. Lepidolite reduces the power of worry, fear, envy and resentment. It invites us to be more honest with ourselves and with others. When we are faced with criticism, Lepidolite invites us to calmly check if there is validity in the criticism. If there is, then to accept and evolve, rather than being defensive of something that doesn’t serve anyone at all. If there is no validity in the criticism, then Lepidolite encourages us to dismiss the words and carry blissfully on. Lepidolite is especially good for reducing anxious and obsessive thoughts. In particular, the constant gnawing negative question of “what if?” Lepidolite helps us to objectively ask ourselves, “Has that happened or is this just fear? Is it likely to happen in real life? Does it even matter in the larger scheme of things?” Lepidolite encourages us to view ourselves as competent and able to handle whatever life throws at us. Lepidolite reminds us that transformation takes time, but if we remain dedicated then positive change is inevitable.

Lepidolite is recommended for a wide-assortment of mental and emotional disorders, including anxiety, bipolar, ADHD, sleep disorders, eating disorders and addiction. It reminds us that we are not our disorder and our disorder is not in charge of our life, even though the disorder may taunt us and trick us into believing its lies. Lepidolite reminds us that we have to actively figure out how to work around it, redirect it or get rid of it, for the best chance at a happy and successful life. This may mean asking for help or accommodations, taking medication or changing our habits. If something doesn’t work, Lepidolite helps us to remember that just because “that didn’t work” it doesn’t mean “something else won’t help.” During the day, Lepidolite can help us to stay focused on the task at hand. At night, Lepidolite can help us to relax our body and mind so we can drift into sleep and have sweet dreams. In the case of incurable, progressive disorders, such as Alzheimer’s, Lepidolite can help us to make important decisions early on, rather than delaying until it is too late. Lepidolite is also a good talisman for anyone suffering from nerve damage or chronic nerve pain.

Typically mined from the primary deposits which still have their original relationship with the host rock. It is mined as a source of lithium and used to make glass and enamels.

All Lepidolite is natural, enhanced only by tumbling, cutting, and polishing.

Lepidolite is a combination of various types of mica minerals, all of which are phyllosilicate minerals. Silicates are minerals which contain the elements Silicon (a light gray shiny metal) and Oxygen (a colorless gas). Together, these two elements form a tetrahedron – a shape similar to a pyramid – with a Silicon atom in the center and Oxygen atoms at each of the four corners. These tetrahedra connect with other chemical structures, in six different ways, to form various minerals and rocks. There are six main groups of Silicate minerals, and these main groups are further subdivided into secondary subdivisions, such as Quartz and Feldspar.  Lepidolite belongs to the phyllosilicate group, whose tetrahedra connect at three corners to form hexagonal rings.

Lepidolite’s energy works well with its family – other phyllosilicate minerals.  Try it in combination with Apophyllite, Cavansite, Chlorite Quartz,  Chrysocolla, Fuchsite, Kammererite, Muscovite, Petalite, Prehnite, Seraphinite, and Serpentine
