Re: chiastolite cross
Chiastolite is a mineral, a stone, a form of Andalusite. Some would call it a crystal. It's opaque, mostly brown, with a black cross shape in the middle if it's cut and polished properly. I have some earrings made with it, in fact.

It's got various metaphysical associations. It's known as "Fairy Cross" or "Cross Stone" sometimes (though I'm not sure why the "fairy" designation; it doesn't seem to have much to do with fairies). You can look up the supposed metaphysical properties for yourself (easy enough to do), but it does seem to have an association with energy and guarding against energy drain, and therefore is thought to be a protection stone.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
