This mica may form anywhere but is most often associated with pegmatite deposits with other lithium bearing minerals, such as elbaite tourmaline and kunzite. Notable deposits include California, USA, Madagascar, Brazil, and more. HEALING: Lepidolite is connected to the heart chakra—it is thought to help balance emotional stress and heal the emotions. *Though many gems and minerals have historical and cultural associations with healing properties, these items are sold for display, study, and collector interest only.
