That's some of the best looking Lepidolite anywhere.

If that's the Montana material, it seems to hold it's color well. We heard it might fade to other colors - like some other purple stones.

I left a thin slice (around 3 mm) from the back of a cab preform on a window sill to test it. After 19 months it still has good color.

That is some of the nicest lepidolite, and so is the polishing job. Like the wonderstone too.  :icon_cheers:
