Lepidolite is a mineral that is typically found in the form of small, flattened, and hexagonal-shaped crystals. It has a layered structure, which gives it a characteristic flaky or scaly appearance. Lepidolite crystals are usually translucent to opaque and can range in color from pale pink to lilac, gray, or purple. The mineral gets its color from the presence of trace amounts of manganese, which can also produce a range of different hues within the same crystal.
