Stauralite (Lusaka Province, Zambia)
Stauralite derives its name from the Greek, stauros for cross, and lithos for stone, because of the iconic cross-shape, cruciform penetration twinning.
It is also called Fairy stones because of the legend that fairies cried copious tears at the news of Christ's death, and their tears turned into these stones. People from many cultures throughout history thus treat the cross-shaped staurolites as good luck charms (yes, they do not always come out in perfect crosses).
