The Crystal of the Day for Monday 4 November 2013 is Staurolite. The twin crystals found on staurolite are sometimes referred to as ‘Faery crosses’ – as it was once believed to be created by the tears of faeries whom could not help but cry when they heard of Christ’s crucifixion. Staurolite is often called “faery stone” or “faery cross”. Since the first time it was worn, it has been considered a good luck charm as well as a charm that would protect children from evil spirits.
