Lepidolite Cut Base Free Form - Madagascar

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this free-form crystal: Lepidolite Cut Base Free Form - Madagascar (shop SKU DLFF4).

Lepidolite is a lithium-rich mica, usually lavender, lilac, or pale pink, with a scaly or glittering texture. Because it is a mica, it can flake if handled roughly. In crystal traditions, lepidolite is associated with calm and emotional balance. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

A cut base means the bottom has been sawn or ground flat so the piece can stand. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed. The title gives the origin as Madagascar.
