Hi everyone,
I'm new to the crystal world and I have been doing some research on different types of crystals. I came across a beautiful purple crystal called lepidolite and it looks very similar to amethyst. However, I'm not sure if they are the same or different crystals. Can anyone clarify if lepidolite is an amethyst or are they two different crystals altogether?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello everyone,
I also believe that lepidolite and amethyst are two distinct crystals, each with their unique attributes. As a crystal healer, I have found that lepidolite is particularly useful for those who struggle with emotional imbalance and instability. The calming energy of this crystal can help bring a sense of peace and tranquility, allowing the user to process emotions and release any negative energy.
On the other hand, amethyst is known for its powerful metaphysical and healing properties. This crystal is particularly useful for those who struggle with addiction, stress, anxiety or have trouble sleeping. It also helps in balancing the crown chakra, which is the center of spiritual awareness in our body.
Therefore, while both lepidolite and amethyst crystals may share some similarities in appearance, it's crucial to understand their unique properties and qualities to use them effectively.
