Lepidolite

Japanese: lepidolite
Lepidolite

...Mica that contains divalent cations such as Ca between the layers is called brittle mica.
[Major types and idealized chemical composition]
(1) Dioctahedral mica Muscovite KAl 2 (Si 3 Al)O 10 (OH) 2 Paragonite (NaAl 2 (Si 3 Al)O 10 (OH) 2 (2) Trioctahedral mica Phlogopite KMg 3 (Si 3 Al)O 10 (OH) 2 Biotite K(Fe,Mg) 3 (Si 3 Al)O 10 (OH) 2 Annite KFe 3 (Si 3 Al)O 10 (OH) 2 Eastonite KMg 2.5 Al 0.5 (Si 2.5 Al 1.5 )O 10 (OH) 2 Siderophyllite KFe 2.5 Al 0.5 ( Si , Al) O 10 ( OH , F) 2 Lepidolite (also called red mica, lepidolite, or lepidolite) KLi 2 AlSi 4 O 10 F 2 to K(Li,Al) 2.5 (Si,Al)(OH,F) 2
[Crystallographic and mineralogical properties]
Mica is easily broken into plates and has an external shape close to a hexagonal plate, but other crystal faces are not well developed. It is often twinned.
