“As a resemblance to a crucifix, Staurolite used to sit atop Church entryways in the Middle Ages. An old folklore tale about this stone ties it back to its ancient name, Fairy Stones. It was believed that once Mother Earth’s fairy’s heard of the crucifiction of Jesus Christ, they bawled tears never before seen. These sad droplets rained down on our planet and became hardened upon contact.” - from thecrystalcouncil.com

Staurolite is a naturally occurring mineral phenomenon - usually in a matrix of quartz and schist.
