Lepidolite clears electromagnetic pollution and should be placed on computers to absorb their emanations. When Lepidolite takes it mica-like form its properties are greatly amplified, and this is the most efficient "mopping up" tool. It dissipates negativity. Lepidolite activates the throat, heart, third eye, and crown chakras, clearing blockages and bringing cosmic awareness.
