Staurolite 45 degree Cross is a crystal (shop SKU NTST) on the shelves at Namaste Bookshop in Manhattan.

Staurolite is an iron aluminum silicate known for twinned crystals that can form a natural cross. In folk tradition, staurolite crosses have been kept as charms. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.
