We went Staurolite crazy!!!! New Mexico Staurolite is a more difficult location to procure this interesting twinned mineral that commonly forms in a cross or x shape from . You will more commonly see it from Russia in a white schist. The crystals from New Mexico often have small garnets included in them, or holes in the crystal where the Garnet fell out. This inclusion is called a porphyroblast. The definition of a porphyroblast, is a large mineral crystal in a metamorphic rock which has grown within the finer grained groundmass. Staurolite is also referred to as “Fairy Cross”, and is a talisman of good luck. It provides overpowering relief from stress, and eliminates depression, addictive personality traits, and over-extension of ones time. We currently have two of these available on our Etsy store but the new batch will be available on Aug. 24th during the Live Sale. - - - #staurolite #staurolitecross #cross #crosses #garnet #garnets #redgarnet #mineralcollecting #mineral #minerals #geology #stones #rockhound #wirewrapping #wirewrapped #wirewrap #healingtools #heartcrystals #healingstones #meditation #meditationspace #auraglow #auracrystal #grounding #rootchakra #rootchakrahealing #crystaltwin #twinning #porphyroblasts #handsofspirit (at Hands of Spirit Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0_aXoIh7iA/?igshid=1ljbpap2goquh
