I got what I needed instead of what I wanted and that's just about the best kind of luck you can have. -Cormack McCarthy

The name Staurolite comes from the Greek word stauros, meaning cross, alluding to the cruciform twins it displays in some cases. Part of the crystal group that includes Kyanite, it helps you step into a purer version of self, associated with discarding parts of the ego self. Staurolite supports you as you move to a place of channeled creativity and expression of individuality, a place unencumbered by should and supposed to. Don't hold yourself back by clinging to someone else's aspirations, beliefs or identity, even if that person is the old you.
