It is actually quite difficult to get really top quality lepidolite in this richness from the mine today, but once it was very famous for beautiful lavender lepidolite, often shot through with embedded pink tourmalines. This 6 cm sphere is a very uniform and rich color, of highest grade carving rough from the mine. The associated piece of polished rough is simply a freebie to show how the rough looked when it started.
