The side of this specimen of lepidolite has been cleaved (naturally, I suspect) to show something you do not often see: an absolutely GEMMY lavender interior, clear as glass, of a nice euhedral crystal! Considering that lepidolite is usually either sheety like common mica or a bearing a dull translucency, this is quite remarkable to see! 3.2 x 1.8 x 1.8 cm
