Chiastolite is an interesting stone. More commonly known as the Cross Stone, it is a form of Andalusite. The Cross Stone was created when minerals like Muscovite, Paragonite and Margarite settled into Graphite sediment and clung to the strips. I don’t understand the science of it, but it’s interesting to know that the black cross is graphite!
The Ancient Chinese revered this stone because it shows the four cardinal directions. They believe that it attracts peace, harmony, good health and good fortune. They also thought that if a piece was placed in the center of your home it would attract these qualities to your home and family. It’s worth a try!!
The first documentation of the Chiastolite was in 1754 by a Franciscan Priest named Jose Torrubia in his book called Aparato para Historica Natural Espanola. For those of us that do not speak Spanish, me included, I translated this title and his book is called Apparatus for Spanish Natural History. This also tells us that one of the countries where this mineral can be found is Spain! Some of the others are China, France, Brazil, Chile, Canada, and Sri Lanka.
