Staurolite Sphere

Natural saurolite sphere. Staurolite is a reddish brown to black nesosilicate mineral known for its unique crystal shape and its association with metamorphic rocks. It is used as an index mineral to estimate the temperature, depth, and pressure at which a rock undergoes metamorphism. The characteristic star or cross shape in staurolite is not a star but rather a result of twinning, a natural process where crystals grow in a symmetrical pattern with another crystal.

Staurolite is believed to help ground and stabilize the wearer, fostering a sense of balance and strength. It is particularly associated with the Root Chakra, which grounds us in the physical realm and supports spiritual growth. Historically, Staurolite has been seen as a good luck charm, with politicians and inventors like Thomas Edison, Theodore Roosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson carrying it for good luck.
