Chiastolite, also known as Cross Stone, is a very rare variety of Andalusite, an aluminum nesosilicate mineral with crossed shaped inclusions of black Graphite and Carbon. The cross can only be seen when this mineral is sliced, though it does run throughout the entire stone.
This mineral was first mentioned in a 1648 book, De Gemmis et Lapidibus, but was officially recorded in 1754 by José Torrubia. Chiastolite only has three active localities which include central Massachusetts in the United States, Asturias, Spain, and the Bimbowrie Conservation Park in Olary Province, South Australia, Australia.
Chiastolite helps open up your root chakra and connect your energies to that of Mother Earth. These energies can provide mental clarity and inner peace, as well as accelerating the self healing process. Your aura will constantly be filled with positive energy when working with Chiastolite, thus leading to joy and enlightenment. This mineral will also assist in peeling back the layers of who you truly are, helping you deal with all of your life experiences. We recommend this mineral for anyone who is looking to personally grow spiritually, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
