Chiastolite is sometimes associated with Christ or the Christ Consciousness.
Chiastolite is found in Chile, Russia, Spain, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Canada and the United States. Chiastolite is sometimes referred to as the "cross stone" for the dark cross that can be seen when the stone is cut. The name Chiastolite comes from the Greek chiastos meaning "cross marked." The stone comes from the Andalusite family and is typically varying shades of brown with a black cross.
Christ Consciousness/Higher Awareness
Chiastolite or the cross stone has long been associated with beings, thought processes or energies that exist on a higher level or plane than "normal" people do. These are sometimes called the Christ Consciousness, a higher awareness or higher frequency. Chiastolite is thought to enhance spiritual awareness and raise your frequency. You can use Chiastolite in prayer or quiet reflection to aid in connection with spiritual beings or beings of a higher realm.
Death and Rebirth
Chiastolite is associated with the concepts of death and rebirth and all circles of life. Using Chiastolite in meditation or wearing the stone may help with the pain of losing a loved one or ease fear of death. Chiastolite is thought to help transform negative feelings such as fear or anger into more positive and accepting emotions. Chiastolite is used in times of change and the process of "crossing over." Introspection with Chiastolite may help the user understand the cycles of death and rebirth.
Protection
Chiastolite has long been used for protection from illness and the negative thoughts or ill wishes of others. Chiastolite was worn or held to ward off the evil eye, among other negative influences. Chiastolite is thought to protect astral travelers, meaning experiencing "travel" or "awareness" outside of the physical body, from physical harm by grounding their physical bodies. As well as protecting travelers, Chiastolite is thought to enhance the gateways of astral travel, making the process of out of body experiences easier.
