{"product_id":"staurolite-virginia-fairy-cross-necklace","title":"Staurolite \"Virginia Fairy Cross\" Necklace","description":"\u003cp\u003eStaurolite, commonly known as the fairy cross or fairy stone, is a dark brown or reddish-brown silicate mineral that naturally forms distinctive cross-shaped crystals through a growth process called penetration twinning. The name comes from the Greek word stauros, meaning \"cross,\" and lithos, meaning \"stone\". Notable U.S. collecting sites include Fairy Stone State Park in Virginia and Fannin County in Georgia - they're sold as souvenirs. 9 of them here have been collected (I bought the collection) and hung (by moi!) from a c. 1900 gold-filled chain with dog and bolt clips on the end. Chain measures 16.5\". Staurolite pendants vary from 3\/4\" to 1\" long and date from various points in the 20th century. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erica Weiner LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52884575519002,"sku":"IG_0916_2026_082","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/checkout.ericaweiner.com\/products\/staurolite-virginia-fairy-cross-necklace","provider":"Erica Weiner LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
