Polished Lepidolite Gallet (Palm Stone)
Lepidolite is a lilac-grey or rose-coloured member of the Mica group of minerals. It is the most abundant Lithium-bearing mineral and is a secondary source of this metal. It is a phyllosilicate mineral and a member of the polylithionite-trilithionite series. A lovely Lepidolite from a new mine in Zimbabwe.
The material is then polished to perfection in SA. A very nice range of red to purple like colour which is consistent across the pieces. This is top quality selected material for richness of colour. This is very funky material and is not commonly available from other regions.
