Sold by the strand.

LEPIDOLITE

Lepidolite wasn’t discovered until 1861, and was initially called Lilalite due to its lavender hue. It contains the most lithium of any other mineral on earth. Lithium is used in anti-anxiety medication and is known to rebalance emotions. It is also a rich source of other rare elements including cesium & rubidium; making it highly sought after. Lepidolite is found in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Japan, Sweden & the United States.
