Lepidolite is also used for balancing the heart & head and helping to lift the feeling of emotional depression (the more lavender colour). The more pink version can also help in dealing with the emotional denial which can happen when the mental body takes over and tries to intellectually deal with the loss rather than emotionally feel it. Lepidolite seems to be one of the most common stones for depression. Pink Lepidolite works best if the mental body is more dominant and the heart needs to be brought into balance with that.
