Ko te Lepidolite te kohuke lithium tino noa me te kohuke nui mo te tango lithium.He aluminosilicate taketake o te pāhare pāporo me te lithium, no nga kohuke mica.Ko te tikanga, ka hangaia te lepidolite i roto i te pegmatite granite.Ko te waahanga matua o te lepidolite ko te kli1 5Al1.5 [alsi3o10] (F, oh) 2, kei roto Li2O o 1.23-5.90%, he maha nga wa kei roto te rubidium, te cesium, me etahi atu. Monoclinic system.Ko te tae he papura me te mawhero, ka taea te marama ki te kore tae, me te peara kanapa.I te nuinga o te wa kei roto i te whakahiato tauine pai, te pou poto, te whakahiato pepa iti, te karaihe pereti nui ranei.Ko te pakeke he 2-3, ko te taumaha motuhake ko te 2.8-2.9, ka tino oti te wehenga o raro.Ina rewa, ka pahuka i te ahi ka puta he mura ahi lithium whero pouri.Karekau ki te waikawa, engari i muri i te rewa, ka pangia ano e te waikawa.
