Folklore...

Lepidolite was discovered in the 18th century by Abbe Poda who named it Lilalite. Its naming was an apparent attempt on word play for its color and the Hindu word of Lila meaning play game. Serious scientists were apparently not amused with his humor and later on the mineralogist Klaproth renamed it to Lepidolite meaning scale stone.

Currently, magickal practitioners have been using Lepidolite to increase psychic awareness by placing it on an altar between yellow or blue candles and focusing on it for deep meditation.
