Lepidolite: Mineral information, data and localities.
Named in 1792 by Martin Klaproth from the Greek words lepidos for "scale" and lithos for "stone".
A Li-rich mica in, or close to, the so-called Polylithionite-Trilithionite series.
The original lepidolite came from Rožná pegmatite, Žďár nad Sázavou, Vysočina Region, Moravia (Mähren; Maehren), Czech Republic.
The name is sometimes incorrectly applied to lithian muscovite. The pink to purple colour typical of lithian muscovite and lepidolite is usually attributed to manganese rather than lithium.
Visit gemdat.org for gemological information about Lepidolite.
Mesoproterozoic to Cretaceous : 1020 Ma to 126.1 ± 1.1 Ma - based on 11 recorded ages.
Cs-rich Lepidolite A variety of Lepidolite enriched in Caesium.
Purple Jade A dense mass of fine grained lepidolite, which is used for carving and as an ornamental stone. It usually contains minor quartz, feldspar, spodumene and occasionally pollucite as impurities. Technically, this material is a rock and not a mineral.
Rb-rich Lepidolite A variety of Lepidolite enriched in Rubidium.
