3" Bicolored Lepidolite Formation - Brazil
This is a unique, 3" wide lepidolite specimen that was collected from Minas Gerais, Brazil. It features two generations of lepidolite growth. The center layer (older formation) is translucent and yellow-colorless, while the oldest outer layer features the typical purple coloration and is opaque.
Lepidolite is a lilac-gray to rose-colored member of the mica group of minerals. Lepidolite is mined as a source of the element lithium, and fine-grained masses are often polished into ornaments such as eggs, palm stones, and spheres.
