About Stone: Lepidolite is derived from the Greek word "'lepidos" for scale and "lithos" for stone. Lepidolite can only form in geochemical environments where high concentrations of lithium are available for mineral formation. Lepidolite is a rare mineral because these geochemical situations rarely occur. Lepidolite is an important ingredient in aventurine. The aventurescence and color of pink, red, and purple aventurine sometimes seen in the stone is often caused by the presence of tiny flakes of lepidolite within the quartz.
