These great specimens of Staurolite come from Keivy, in the Kola Peninsula, Russia. The staurolite is twinned, with the intersecting crystals forming a "Fairy Cross".  Staurolite is a common metamorphic mineral famous for its twinned crystals that form into the shape of a cross. Its name comes from the Greek word for cross.

The twin is a classic penetration twin where it appears as if two crystals grew into and out of each other. It actually forms two twin types; one is nearly 90 degrees and the other nearly 60 degrees.  It was associated with Christianity as a symbol for the cross and as a good luck charm. It has been given the names "Fairy Stone" or Fairy Cross" as it was believed to be formed from the tears the fairies shed when they learned of Christ's death.

These crystals are excellent for jewelry making.
