  1. Color: Lepidolite typically exhibits shades of purple, lilac, pink, and sometimes gray. This coloration is due to the presence of manganese in its composition, although it can also contain traces of other elements that might influence its coloration.

  2. Hardness: Lepidolite falls within the range of 2.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This makes it relatively soft compared to many other minerals. It can be easily scratched by harder materials.

  3. Clarity: Lepidolite is often translucent to opaque, meaning that light may or may not pass through it depending on its thickness and quality. It may contain inclusions or impurities that affect its clarity.

  4. Luster: Lepidolite typically has a pearly to vitreous luster, giving it a somewhat shiny appearance when polished.

  5. Density: The density of lepidolite can vary, but it generally falls within the range of 2.8 to 3.2 grams per cubic centimeter.

  6. Metaphysical Properties: Lepidolite is often associated with promoting emotional balance and stability. It's thought to alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression, and promote feelings of calmness and tranquility. It's believed to aid in personal growth and transformation, helping individuals navigate through life's changes and challenges with greater ease.
