Lepidolite and Pink Sapphire Pendant

Description:  Ranging from pale gray to delicate lavender, our lepidolite has showy displays of imbedded pink tourmaline.   I cut each stone to best show its beauty and distinctive characteristics and pair it with either tourmaline or pink sapphire as an accent.  The shape shown in the photo is oval, but I often cut teardrop shapes as well.  It just depends on what part of the material I want to emphasize.  While the higher quality material is reserved for jewelry, this amazing stone is also an important source of lithium, the lightest metal in the world.  We use lithium daily in rechargeable batteries, toasters, microwave ovens and even your mobile phone!  Who knew such a gorgeous stone would have so many other uses?  

Like turquoise, lepidolite is on the soft side, so heavy pressure can cause it to break. Avoid contact with harsh chemicals such as bleach, peroxide or other household cleaners.

 Heart Chakra Information for Lepidolite and Pink Sapphire Pendant

The fourth or heart chakra is located in the heart, chest and shoulders.  It is called the heart chakra because it is the place where we feel joy and a universal love for all of life.  It is where we hold the capacity for healing and hope.  Love, compassion and kindness are positive feelings we hold in the heart chakra.  Negative emotions such as despair, depression, cruelty and loneliness are felt in this area as well.  Common phrases that describe the sensations of the heart chakra would include: My heart was overflowing with love, He/she broke my heart, I love you with all my heart or How can you be so heartless?.  Depression is often described as having a heavy heart, or carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.  More than any other chakra, the state of our heart chakra determines how happy we feel.
