STAUROLITE (FAIRY STONE)

Staurolite, often called the "Fairy Cross,” is an aluminium silicate mineral typically found in metamorphic rocks such as schist and gneiss. It forms striking brown to reddish-brown prismatic crystals that commonly twine in cross-shaped formations, creating a captivating natural pattern. In folklore, Staurolite has long been regarded as a protective talisman, symbolising luck and spiritual guidance. Metaphysically, it is believed to ground energy, enhance resilience, and strengthen intuition. The stone is also said to promote emotional balance, stability, and a deeper connection to the Earth.
