Spodumene
Have you ever gotten so pumped up or done so much it burnt you out? Or have you gone through periods where your mood swings exhaustingly from high to low? If so, spodumene wants to help. Beloved for its soft, delicate colors, especially purplish pink (kunzite) and delicate green (hiddenite), this mineral plays a far more important role in our world than just being pretty: It’s also our primary source of lithium. An element used to make long-lasting batteries, lithium is also the medication that helps people with bipolar disorder stabilize their mood swings. Whether you’re someone who’s gone through life chasing highs, or things have only gotten a bit frenzied lately, think of spodumene as a gentle voice asking you to calm down. Take a few long, slow breaths and find some balance now, because too much excitement can lead to burnout and despair. The real beauty of life is found through long-lasting peace and calm.
The Bottom Line

“Aim for long-lasting balance and peace.”
