Selecting Your Crystal
If you are able to physically go to the store to select your crystal, using one of the following techniques may be helpful for you. It is important to ensure you are grounded before selecting a crystal from a Brick & Mortar Store.
Note: Lepidolite contains natural lithium. It is formed in sheets of mica and is very soft, which means it can be very fragile. The mica is what causes the shiny, sparkly bits. When raw, it can be flaky and very fragile, if the sheets are thin. When polished and in thicker pieces, it can be stronger and made into jewellery, worry and palm stones, but it still is a soft stone and needs to be treated gently.
Grounding
When you are ready, sit or stand comfortably with your feet planted firmly on the floor or ground. Picture roots going firmly into the floor or ground while a golden cord extends into the heavens from the head. Take a deep breath from your abdomen and fully exhale. Repeat your breaths twice more.
Brick & Mortar Store
Pendulum Technique
Clear your pendulum.
Ensure you are grounded. Picture tree roots extending from the base of your spine. Take a deep breath, exhale. Repeat the process twice more.
Hold the pendulum in your non-dominant hand, with your dominant hand underneath.
Ask your pendulum to show you "Yes". Note the direction the pendulum moved.
Ask the pendulum to stop.
Now ask the pendulum to show you "No". Note the direction the pendulum moved.
Ask the pendulum to stop.
Place a piece of Lepidolite in your dominant hand under the pendulum.
Ask the Pendulum "Is this piece in my best or highest good?" or "Is this piece meant for me?" or a similar Yes/No question that will allow you to know whether or not the piece is meant for you to purchase.
Note the response.
If the response is no, try with the process again with another piece.
Note: If the piece is too big for you to hold you will need to place it on a firm surface and hold the pendulum over top of the crystal while asking the question.
Intuitive Selection
Hold the crystal in your non-dominant hand against your heart.
Ask your guides if this is in your best and highest good.
If you experience a positive feeling then the piece is a good match.
If you experience cold sensory feelings or a feeling of dread, select a different piece and repeat the process.
Online Stores
When purchasing crystals, like Lepidolite, online, there are considerations to make. It may not be easy to tell in the photographs, so it is best to be aware:
It may be difficult to see the inclusions or flashes in the crystals.
As a reminder, raw Lepidolite contains mica (the shiny, sparkly pieces). It forms in sheets and if the slices are very thin, it can be very fragile.
The tumbled version is still fragile but will have a shiny surface to it.
It is advisable to check the dimensions of all crystals before purchasing.
Note: Online stores use stock images so the image you see will not be representative of the product you receive.
Cleanse Your Crystal
Options
Set your Lepidolite on a piece of Selenite for several hours until you intuit the energy of the crystal has been cleansed.
Due to the fragility of this crystal and the presence of mica and natural lithium, it is recommended you avoid using water to cleanse this crystal. Smudge sticks, sage, or Palo Santo are options that can be used for this crystal.
