This exceptional staurolite twin specimen originates from the renowned Keiva, Semiostrovye deposit in Russia, known for producing some of the finest quality staurolite crystals. Staurolite is a rare mineral famous for its naturally occurring cross-shaped twins, formed due to its unique crystallographic structure. Specimens with 90° twins, like this one, are particularly prized among collectors due to their rarity and distinctive geometric form. Whether for a mineral collection or as a geological curiosity, this staurolite twin is a remarkable example of nature’s fascinating symmetry and mineralogical beauty.
