Fairy Cross Natural

Fairy Cross, also known as Staurolite, is the official state mineral of the state of Georgia, USA in the Fairy Stone Park in Patrick County. It is also to be found, in smaller quantities, in the Lepontine Alps in Switzerland. It is reddish brown to black in colour and often occurs in a cross-shape, and are usually less than an inch (2.5 cm) in length. Thus referred to as Fairy Cross.

There is a legend associated with the Fairy Cross. It is an old Cherokee legend handed down over 2000 years ago. This is how it goes: “When the world was young there lived in these mountains a race of little people. They were spirit people. Like the fairies you read about. One day when these little people had gathered to dance and sing around a deep pool deep in the woods, a spirit messenger arrived from a strange city far away in the Land of the Dawn. Soon the dancing and singing stopped, for the messenger brought them sad tidings. The messenger told them Christ was dead. The little people were silent and sad. And as they listened to the story of how Christ had died on the Cross, they wept and their tears fell upon the earth and turned into small stones. The stones were not round or square. Each was in the form of a beautiful little cross. Hundreds of tears fell to earth and turned into tiny stone crosses, but the little people were so dazed and heart broken, they did not notice what was happening. So, with the joy gone from their hearts, they wandered away into the forest into their homes. But around the spot where they had been dancing and singing, where they had stopped to shed their tears, the ground was covered with these symbols of the death of Christ. What happened to the little people? No one knows for sure what happened to them. The old men of the tribes said that after that day, the little people were never seen again. But they say on still nights you could hear them whispering along the river and that when there is a gentle breeze their sighs could be heard in the tall trees.”
