LEPIDOLITE • Crystal Healing Properties/Meaning

Lepidolite is a Guardian Bonder crystal. The Guardian crystals have several special uses. They first serve to guard your beliefs against doubt. Everyone at some point begins to doubt some of his or her most cherished beliefs. That doubt can grow and affect our lives. A Guardian crystal can help you keep true to your ideals and beliefs. The Guardian crystals can also protect your spirits. If you anticipate a trying and difficult, even stressful future, a Guardian can be very effective in aiding your efforts to maintain your disposition, sense of humor, and respect for others.

Body, mind, and soul harmony is achieved with lepidolite. This graceful, gentle stone is all about creating stability and balance. Lepidolite is thought to calm the higher self, open the intellect, and relieve anxious or stressful feelings.

Lepidolite is associated with the Crown, Third Eye, and Heart Chakras. The Crown Chakra is located at the top of the head and gives us access to higher states of consciousness. When the Crown Chakra is out of balance or blocked, you will be rigid in your thinking and spiritually adrift. You will have difficulty understanding relationships, ideas, and dreams. The Third Eye Chakra is located on the forehead, between the eyebrows. When the Third Eye Chakra is out of balance or blocked, nothing seems to make sense and you have a difficult time knowing what is important and what is not. The Heart Chakra is located near the center of the breastbone and regulates our interaction with the external world and controls what we embrace and what we resist. 

It gives us the balancing ability to be ourselves within the environment and helps us in understanding our own needs and emotions clearly. We can deal with the ebbs and flows of emotional relationships, understand their cyclic nature, and accept the changes.

Lepidolite is a stone of mystery and deep magical powers. They are used in many spells and incantations to gain wisdom and spiritual mastery. Judy Hall in the Encyclopedia of Crystals reports Lepidolite is a stone of shamanic journeying. She also notes it is a stone for inducing calm in a situation. In the Book of Stones, Robert Simmons notes that Lepidolite is used to calm frayed nerves. Also, he mentions it is used as a stone of spiritual purification.
