Blue Lepidolite is a rare sky blue form of this Lithium based mineral. Originally thought to have been discovered sometime after 1913, however is not noted in literature until the site was visited by geologist E.S. Simpson, several times across 1922-23.

This Blue Lepidolite is from the Carlaminda Blue Quarry in Western Australia in the Yalgoo which is approximately 280 miles north of Perth. The western section of this pegmatite is on Gabyon Station, and the eastern section is on Carlaminda Station. About 30 kilometres north north-west of Yalgoo. It is known for fine examples of blue lepidolite. Most lepidolite is purple, however in this case the coloration is caused by a combination of Rubidium, Caesium and Lithium.

Lepidolite was first discovered in 1861 by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff. Originally called "lilalite" because of its lavender colour, it was later named "lepidolite" from the Greek "lepidos"--which means "scale"--because of its scaly appearance caused by flakes of lithium.

Lepidolite is a potassium lithium aluminium silicate hydroxide fluoride that belongs to the mica group of minerals. Lepidolite, like other micas, has a layered structure of lithium aluminium silicate sheets weakly bonded together by layers of potassium ions. The crystal habit includes tabular to prismatic crystals with a prominent pinacoid termination. Lepidolite's four prism faces and two pinacoid faces form pseudo-hexagonal crystal "books". The sides of the crystal often tend to tapper. Also as micaceous, lamellar or granular rock forming masses.

Lepidolite occurs a lilac, violet, pale pink or white and rarely grey or yellow crystals that have a vitreous to pearly lustre. \n\nLepidolite is mined as a source of the element lithium along with other rare earth elements such as cesium and rubidium. Lepidolite is an important source of lithium, which is the lightest metal in the world. It is used in rechargeable batteries, mobile phones, toasters, microwave ovens, air purifiers, aircraft parts and is well-known as a mood-stabilising drug.
