Staurolite is a silicate mineral. It is reddish-brown, black-brown or yellow-brown in color. Staurolite occurs as twin crystals in the shape of a cross or a bow, and they were once used as amulets. The name staurolite comes from the Greek words stauros 'cross' and lithos 'stone' meaning cross and stone.

Symbol meaning

Staurolite is known as the fairy cross. It was believed to be formed from the tears of the fairies, which they shed after hearing of Christ's death on the cross. In other stories, it is said that staurolites were traces left by fairies as they moved through the world. Traditionally, this protective stone has been considered a good luck talisman.

Staurolite is thought to enhance and strengthen rituals and is used in white magic ceremonies. Staurolite is believed to promote spirituality and connection to and communication with a higher power or the universe. Since the crystal form of staurolite is often cross-shaped, it is also associated with Christianity and the symbolism of the cross. It represents faith, spiritual strength and holiness.

Ritual use

Staurolite can be used on an altar, as a portable amulet, as a meditation aid, and as part of a crystal grid.
