Chiastolite wholesale for jewelry making

Chiastolite beads and cabochons

Chiastolite is a distinctive variety of andalusite characterized by natural dark inclusions that form a cross-like pattern within the stone. Its name comes from the Greek word chiastos, meaning “cross.”

Throughout history, chiastolite has been valued for its distinctive cross-shaped markings. In 16th-century Spain, it was used as a protective talisman and was also believed to have medicinal properties.

Brazil is particularly well known for producing high-quality chiastolite, although deposits are also found in Russia, Siberia, Australia, and China. We primarily offer genuine Brazilian chiastolite, prized for its striking natural cross patterns.
