What do we think about Staurolite (Cross Stones/Fairy Crosses)?

I found a few Cross Stones today. I was fascinated when I found one that was a good looking cross.

What does everyone thing of Cross Stones?

What does everyone think of the Staurolite crystal in general?

I didn’t find any Staurolites in great condition but I imagine if you found a clear one, the brownish crystal would look incredible.

Is there any good signs? Looking for hope

I started collecting recently. I’m at a spot on a river with a Native American name. I believe there was a camp here at some point. All signs point to it. I’ve found stuff I believe is flaking. But maybe I’m full of it and it’s a lost cause? Also I have a question. How long did you search before you found your first piece? I’d love to hear stories and answers. Any tips? I’m losing faith and I know, I KNOW there’s something there!

Almost lost my footing on this steep rocky hillside — agates made it worth it. Would you adventure this terrain for these?

Beautiful Tri-Colored Rock

I found this in Death Valley Arizona USA 20+ years ago. It’s real hard. Tried to scratch it with a screw and nothing happened.
