Lepidolite is a lithium-bearing mica mineral, often recognized by its lilac, lavender and purple colouring and pearly to sparkly appearance. As a natural mineral, variations in colour, pattern, texture and inclusions are all part of its character.

In crystal traditions, Lepidolite is often associated with calm, emotional balance, relaxation, and the ability to navigate periods of change. The dove is also traditionally a symbol of peace, love and hope, making this carving a lovely piece for a crystal collection, peaceful space or meaningful gift.
