Main esoteric and healing properties of the Andalusite (also known as Quiastolite).
Araucanian legend on Quiastolite or Stone Cross:
Stone cross or quiastolite: tears of a woman in love. This rare gem with characteristic cross-shaped inclusion, always gave rise to legends. Known as andalusite, the legend is originally quoted araucana.
In areas dominated by the Araucanian Indians, between Chile and Argentina Patagonia, commonly found in rocky areas deposits of these gems.
In Chile is known as Southern Cross stone, usually found in the province of Bio Bio, riverside Cross, near a town called Laraquete.
A legend tells that the Araucanian Indians proud and brave, strong resistance opposed to the Spanish conquest, refusing to be slaves and caring for Mother Earth from invaders. The crosses andalusite typical, were for these Indians, the souls of the warriors killed by the Spanish, who gave his life for his brothers and his land. A popular legend tells us that after a raid, a warrior (toqui), captured a Spanish girl.
The took his encampment south of conception, she was well treated, eventually was learning the ways of his captors. Gradually was born between her and her captor, a real love, deep and sincere.
At the other warriors, and residents of the tribe did not like the union, opposed it.
Despite all remained together, but after a few days, did not return the young warrior.
He had been kidnapped, hiding in a cave until I decided to leave the white woman.
One night returning from malón the captive tell your partner had died next to a distant forest, on the banks of a stream. Dam by grief and despair, fled the encampment, looking for hours to his love, crying and praying to God for her beloved. Miraculously, her tears became the gems of the Araucanians, the stone crosses. Mother Earth had taken pity on her grief, joining her reminding his sons fallen in battle against the invaders ...
Seeing this miracle of love the other Indians spared the captive, and a machi (shaman araucana). They gathered the tears, turned into stones, filling a pumpkin ritual.
After forgiving the lovers, on Ring Cultrum (ritual drum) started jumping gems inside the pumpkin shaman, ordering the release of the warrior. Finally they were allowed to live in peace.
