A natural, crystallized form of lithium, lepidolite grows with tourmaline and kunzite and is proven to lighten moods and lift depression. Our Native American ancestors had many tourmaline mines on their reservations in the southwest. They would rub the stone directly on their bodies, allowing the lithium to absorb into their skin. Natural lithium had a calming effect, relaxing them and easing mood disorders. We use lepidolite in a comparable way today.
