Lepidolite

Legend - An uncommon mica which has only become available in large quantities in the past decade as the nature of the stone makes it difficult to cut.  Its name originates from the Greek lepidos (scale) lithos (stone).  Sometimes incorrectly referred to as Chinese Charoite or Lavenderine.

Properties - Referred to as the “Peace Stone” as it is believed to attract peace, luck and happiness and drives away negativity.

Description - Micaceous plates create light and dark patches of purple on these Lepidolite beads. These beads have been colour enhanced.  Sold as temporary strung 40cm (approx) strands.
