201005-1 Purple Mica (Lepidolite) is said to be a spiritual stone known as the "stone of transformation," effective when facing a turning point in life and wanting to change. It's popular because it's said to help when you can't take the first step, remove anxieties and fixations, and when you want to move into a new environment. Mica is the English name for "unmo" (雲母), which is derived from the Latin word "micare" (= to shine). In Japanese, mica is also called "kira" or "kirara."
