Staurolite

Raw Staurolite Jewelry, Handmade in Japan

Explore TROZO's raw staurolite necklaces, ear cuffs and bracelets — each built around a real, uncut staurolite rather than a cut and polished stone. Many are set in sterling silver. Every piece is handmade in Japan, and as one-of-a-kind raw stone it is truly unique.

Staurolite (the “cross stone”) is a rare natural stone that grows naturally into a cross by penetration twinning. Its formula is Fe₁.₅Al₉Si₄O₂₂(OH)₂, monoclinic, Mohs 7–7.5. The name is from the Greek *stauros* (cross) + *lithos* (stone). In Patrick County, Virginia, USA, it is called the “fairy cross”, with the legend that fairies’ tears turned to stone — and it was long worn as a talisman by Crusaders.

TROZO works every staurolite unpolished, setting it so its natural colour and form lead the design — handmade in Japan, and no two raw stones alike.
