Each piece displays natural variations in tone and form, making it unique and ideal for collectors or natural stone displays.
Como é formado (English):
Lepidolite is formed in granitic pegmatites, where lithium-bearing solutions crystallize over thousands of years. Its characteristic color comes from the lithium and trace elements present in its structure.
