Because of chiastolite’s unique cross or X many have associated this stone with the concept of death and rebirth. Even though, when directed, the cross stone can be used to contact those who have "CROSSED OVER.” I find the cross stone to be a quiet, yet penetrating amulet stone. It seems to direct our focus upon those things which matter most to us. It can be used to focus upon, and therefore provide insight to answers and solutions. Chiastolite is an excellent palm stone because it does emit a calming influence upon our unconscious mind. It is a great stone for those born in the zodiac house of Libra to carry with them.
