Description

Staurolite is the official state mineral of Georgia, and is also found in Fairy Stone State Park in Virginia, US. Staurolite often appears as two pieces which join together as a cross. They can appear as 90 degree angle cross called a Maltese cross, or as 60 degree angle crosses, which are called St. Andrew’s Cross and look like an “X.” Much rarer, there are staurolite which have both the 90 and the 60 degree crosses, and they resemble more a six-pointed star.
