Mined from: Madagascar

Description: These mini pocket sized heart carvings are made from lepidolite. Lepidolite is a shimmering lilac to lavender coloured mineral from the mica group. It's composed of potassium, lithium, and aluminum silicate, with lithium giving it its soft purples and pinks. Its pearly sheen comes from its layered, flaky structure, similar to other mica minerals like muscovite or biotite. Lepidolite is one of the major ores of lithium, a key element in rechargeable batteries and mental health medications. Although this mineral often contains trace amounts of cesium or rubidium, which can make certain specimens slightly radioactive, these items are entirely non-hazardous, safe to collect and display. 

Lepidolite, known as the "Stone of Peace," is celebrated for its calming energy, thought to reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional turmoil. With its connection to the heart and third eye chakras, it’s believed to inspire self-love, balance, and spiritual insight.
