ATTRIBUTES
Staurolite is known as the fairy Cross. It was believed to be formed from
tears the fairies shed when they heard the news of christ's death. Traditionally,
this protective stone is a talisman for good luck.
Staurolite enhances and strengthens ritual and is used in white magic ceremonies.
It is said to access the ancient wisdom of the Middle East. This stone connects
the physical, etheric, and spiritual planes, promoting communication between
them.
Psychologically, Staurolite is exceptionally useful in relieving stress.
It alleviates depression and addictions, and negates a tendency to overwork
and to overcommit energy.
Physically, Staurolite is an excellent stone for those wishing to stop smoking
and to mitigate and heal its effects. It assists in understanding the hidden
reasons behind the addiction to nicotine and provides a grounding energy
for airy people who have used nicotine to anchor them to the earth.
HEALING
Staurolite treats cellular disorders and growths, increases assimilation
of carbohydrates, and reduces depression. It was traditionally used for
fever.
