The drilled freeforms of Lepidolite, flat on both sides, are about 3.8 - 4.8cm in size; the hole is about 2.5cm in diameter.
Lepidolite (mica) helps to separate from external influences. Distractions are prevented and concentration on the essentials is facilitated.
Please do not bring in contact with water, e.g. when showering or bathing; the stone can swell and burst.
The Jesuit Nicolaus Poda von Neuhaus (1723 - 1798) discovered the mineral Lepidolite and first named it Lilalith (Lila stone). This designation was criticized in the technical world as too little scientifically, so that the mineral received 1795 the designation Lepidolite, which is still in use today. This name derives from the Greek words "lepidion" (scaly) and lithos (stone) and means translated "scaly stone" or "scaly stone". Spellings like leipolite, lepitolite, lepitolite or lepidolite are therefore not correct.
Synonyms are lithium mica, lilathite, hydropolylithionite, lithium mica and rhomium mica.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier and I am the founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. Creativity and stones have been a topic for me since I was a child, and they first shaped my free time and then my entire professional life.
As a child, this began playfully with collecting and crafting with stones I had found myself and with the first minerals that my grandfather brought me from the Alps. Later, a fascination for processing, sawing, grinding, designing and artistic work with gemstones emerged. With our Chili Creative ® brand, we managed to build up a range developed by experts from our wholesale business and our production sites in Asia.
Today, numerous professional jewelry designers, goldsmiths, jewelry makers, jewelers and creative people from the online world such as Etsy and Pinterest providers use the components of Chili Creative® in their projects.
