Chiastolite Cabochons
Chiastolite is a variety of Andalusite that contains a black cross pattern when seen in a cross-section. This is why it is also known as the Cross Stone. These cabochons have a free-form shape which means that their shape can vary from oval to round to tear-drop or even something a little more abstract.
Cabochons are perfect for use in any healing session or in meditations because of their shape. Their unique shape makes them convenient to put on a person during healing because they are small and have a flat back so they do not fall off of the body easily, but they can also easily fit into your pocket or crystal pouch as well. Cabochons are also a favorite choice for wire wrapping jewelry creators.
In ancient China where it originated, Chiastolite was a symbol of the four cardinal points (north, south, east, west), and when placed in the center of the home, will fuse chi energy and radiate it outwards, thus welcoming health and harmony.
Chiastolite is a protective stone, often worn to guard against negative energies, curses and the like. It encourages creative thinking and problem-solving by getting rid of old thought patterns that have been keeping us from moving ahead.
Physically, use Chiastolite to help with nerve damage, muscle weaknesses, rheumatism and gout. It can aide those vibrationally who are debilitated by stroke or other paralysis.
