Properties of staurolite, its deposits and features of use

Staurolite is a very unusual and expressive stone that will emphasize your character and will delight you for many years. This gift from nature is a combination of two minerals - aluminum and iron ore. A special feature of staurolite is the intergrowth of crystals of these two materials in the shape of a cross.

Among the huge variety of legendary versions of the origin of the stone, one can be noted, the most famous. It says that once several young fairies walked near a clean source, who met there a young man - an elf. He was very sad and told the fairies the story of the recent crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which made the fairies cry bitterly. It is believed that their tears fell on a large stone and formed these very crosses of accreted minerals. Since then, staurolite is considered a symbol of the grief of young fairies and a reflection of their pure, sincere tears.

In terms of physicochemical characteristics, staurolite is distinguished by its particular strength due to its crystalline structure. Due to this structure, the stone perfectly resists melting and is insoluble in various types of acids.
