Geology · Formation
How it forms: 'Books' of purple plates in magma.
Lepidolite is the 'Prozac of the mineral kingdom,' known for its calming purple plates. It is a lithium-rich mica that forms in granite pegmatites. The concentration of high amounts of Lithium during the final stages of magmatic crystallization results in 'books' of thin, purple-to-pink plates with a pearly luster.
