Will I receive this exact specimen?

Yes. This is a one-of-a-kind piece and every photo shows the exact specimen you will receive, at 0.24 lbs and 2.19 x 1.88 x 1.24 inches.

Lepidolite, a lithium-bearing mica. Soft lilac to pink with a platy mica structure that gives it a subtle shimmer.

Where does it come from?

Minas Gerais, Brazil, sourced through a community partnership.

No. A lot of the lepidolite on the market is stabilized. This piece is natural and untreated.

How should I care for it?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth and keep it dry. Lepidolite is soft at Mohs 2.5 to 3, so handle it gently and store it separately so harder stones do not scratch it.

What is it traditionally used for?

Lepidolite is often kept nearby during demanding stretches, and traditionally associated with the heart and third eye chakras.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Will I receive the exact piece shown, or one chosen from your stock?

For bulk listings sold by weight or piece count, you receive pieces from the same batch shown in the photos. Each piece is hand-selected at the time of packing. For unique specimens listed individually, you receive the exact piece photographed. The listing will specify which applies.

How do I know this crystal is ethically sourced?

Beyond Bohemian traces each stone as far up the supply chain as possible and is transparent when that tracing has limits. We work with small-scale operations and family-run suppliers wherever we can verify fair compensation. You can ask about any specific piece and we will tell you what we know and what we do not.

Crystal Family: Mica
Mohs Hardness: 2.5-3
Origin: Minas Gerais, Brazil
Beginner Friendly: Yes
Treatment Awareness: Medium (stabilization possible)

Lepidolite has a lavender-grey shimmer that comes from its layered mica structure. Hold one up to the light and you'll see it flash, almost like cracked ice. It's one of the softer stones we carry, which means you treat it gently. The name comes from Greek 'lepidos' meaning scale, referring to its scaly, micaceous texture.

These specimens come from Minas Gerais, Brazil. It's soft (Mohs 2.5-3), so handle it with a little care, keep it dry, and store it in its own pouch so harder stones don't scratch it. Worth knowing: a lot of the lepidolite on the market is stabilized. What we carry is natural and untreated.

Lepidolite has long been used in practices around quiet, steady calm, working through difficult feelings at your own pace, and winding down and settling into rest. It's traditionally linked to the heart and third eye chakras.

If that resonates, keep it nearby during quiet moments or by the bed for rest. There's no single right way to carry it.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
