Gorgeous lepidolite specimen that friends bought from the recent Rocks & Minerals show here.

#Lepidolite is a lilac-gray/rose-colored member of the #mica group of #minerals . It's the most abundant #lithium bearing mineral & al secondary source of this metal. It's a major source of the alkali metal #rubidium too.

Calling all rock experts... geologists, not musicians.
