Lepidolite Crystal Healing Properties

The primary Lepidolite meaning is one of a deeply relaxing energy. This purple stone is one of the most powerful crystals for countering stress, worry, fear and grief. It allows us to find a strong, stable, emotional centre and prevents extreme emotional shifts. Lepidolite is believed to assist us to perceive and release past emotional trauma which we may still be unconsciously holding on to and allows us to live fully in the present moment. It is believed to curb hyperactivity and assist with sleep disorders.

History and Uses

Lepidolite comes from the Latin word lepidos meaning scale and refers to the growing habit of some types of this crystal which form in layers. Its high lithium content means it has been traditionally used to alleviate conditions of anxiety and depression.

Geological Description
