It is very difficult to know where to begin with Lepidolite. Named from the Greek word ‘lepidos’, which means scale, due to its shimmering flaky appearance (which was thought to be reminiscent of a Dragons Scale). It has several different names such as Peace Stone, Grandmother Stone, Harmonising Stone, and Transition Stone. Any of these names would fit it perfectly, yet, we call it Lepidolite,

Lepidolite is thought to have nurturing and calming properties. One of the unique properties of Lepidolite is its high lithium content. Lithium is a natural mood stabiliser that increases Dopamine levels and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries to treat conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder. It truly is holistic in its ability to harmonise the body, mind, and soul. As the Stone of Transition, Lepidolite is an excellent stone at clearing out blockages and nudging you towards a place where you can connect to your higher self. For many it is an essential stone to have at hand during times of change or when working to overcome anxiety and tension.

Lepidolite also works with the physical body, it is thought to help the immune system, help numb sciatica and neuralgia. It is also said to reduce symptomatic problems associated with Alzheimer’s. Lepidolite can help to stabilise moods, cut back on the symptoms of PMT and Menopause, and help the body and mind deal with changes brought on by hormonal cycles. Lepidolite encourages and nurtures self-love. It helps to let go of emotions and behaviours that no longer serve. It can help restructure behaviour patterns and thoughts, to embrace times of change.

Spiritually, Lepidolite is one of the best energy cleansers. It can help to clear blockages from the Heart Chakra, the Third Eye Chakra, and the Crown Chakra which are the gateways needed for divine connection with higher plains. Unblocking them can bolster our sense of inner wisdom, intuition, trust, capability for love, and ability to see and understand our place in the universe, helping you reach a place in the physical and spiritual realms where you can be your true self and thrive.

There are many other properties and benefits to this wonderful stone too.
