Lepidolite is a lithium-containing mica mineral with a flaky structure. In order to preserve the stone's natural beauty and suitability for everyday use, Tumbled Stones are gently stabilized if necessary. Stabilization increases resistance, reduces brittleness and ensures long-lasting jewellery processing.
ensures a long-lasting jewelry finish. The natural appearance of the stone is completely retained. Stabilization enables Lepidolite to be used permanently as a gemstone and its special colour effect to be shown to its best advantage.

Lepidolite was described in the 18th century by the Jesuit Nicolaus Poda von Neuhaus (1723-1798). He initially called the mineral "Lilalith" (lilac stone). As this name was not considered sufficiently scientific, the mineral was given the name Lepidolite, which is commonly used today, in 1795. The name is derived from the Greek:
lepidion = scaly, lithos = stone. Translated, Lepidolite therefore means "scaly stone".

Spellings such as lepidolite, lepitolite, lepitolite or lepidolite are incorrect. Synonyms are lithion mica, lilathite, hydropolylithionite, lithium mica, rhomic mica.
