The following is an excerpt from the book "Love is in the Earth" written by Melody. If you are interested in stones and crystals for healing and enlightenment purposes, then this is the book to get!! You can occasionally find it on E-Bay.

"This mineral activates the throat, heart and third eye chakras, and the intellect. IT also opens the crown chakra and allows for the flowering of the inner blue lotus, assisting one to become aware of the subtle vibratory energies both within and without of the self.

It is used for stress reduction and to alleviate despondency.

The energy of Lepidolite is refreshing and almost sentimental; it assists in the transformation of the energies of lesser spiritual ideals to the energies of universal light, hope, and acceptance.

It is recognized as a "stone of transition", helping one through situations  of variability in this life and assisting in the restructuring and reorganization of old patterns. IT further serves to gently induce change and to allow for smooth passage during the change.

Lepidolite can also help one with transition form one life to another; it facilitates astral travel, assists in birth and re-birthing, and helps to understand and to cheerfully accept both the departure from the physical realm and the entry to the spiritual dominion.

It can induce the attribute of self-love, bringing in child-like love and acceptance to the user, while allowing the aspect of trust to flourish."
