Lepidolite

Lepidolite is an uncommon mica that only in the past decade has become available on the mineral market in large quantities (more recently, however, its availability has become limited again). This gemstone is a by-product of the mining of lithium and owes its color to lithium's proximity. The name lepidolite is from the Greek word lepidos, meaning scale. Its color is violet to pale pink or white and, rarely, gray or yellow. It often contains black markings.
