Through the days of labor and sights of rest

May the beautiful flowers of the good Fairy Grow.
The Staurolites, better known as "fairy stones" are found in a field of about 50 acres on top of a Mountain in Virginia. These "Fairy" or "Lucky" stones are twinned staurolite crystal simulating the Romait, Maltese, and St. Andrew's crosses. They are as much as an inch in length and are of light brown color. The original staurolite mineral has changed to a compact softer material, so that the stones can readily be prepared for the jewelry trade.
These stones are much sought after as good luck pieces, charms, lavalliers and natural curiosities.
Every stone is in some shape of a cross, and millions of people are now wearing them in various forms of jewelry.
It is well known that the late ex-President Theodore Roosevelt and ex-President Wilson, Thomas A. Edison, Colonel Charles Lindbergh, and many other prominent people of this country as well as some of the crown heads of Europe and prominent officers and men in the European War carried one or more of these little lucky pieces tucked snugly away about them.
LEGEND OF THE FAMOUS FAIRY OR LUCKY STONES
In a quiet sunny glade nestled among the rugged footbills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, a section made renowned by the fact
that old King Powhatan once held undisputed possession there, was discovered a single quarry of the far-famed Virginia "Fairy" or "Lucky" stones.
These little curiosities, which range in size from one-fourth of an inch to two inches, bear in the most unique form some shape of a cross, which has been outlined by Nature's own hand.
In that weird spot, the only known place in the world where the little wonder- working gems are to be found, the good fairies flourished and had their workshop many hundred of years ago. This, you will probably say, was rather a strange place for Titania's subjects but were you to visit this charming mountain region you would find every rock and tree infected with a glamor of romance.
As to the real origin of these crosses of stone, comparatively nothing is known as the leading scientists of the country have failed to throw any satisfactory light on the subject; but in that remote mountain section runs a very pretty legend to the effect that hundreds of years before King Powhatan's dynasty came into power long before the woods breathed the gentle spirit of the lovely Pocahontas, the fairies were dancing around a spring of limpid water, playing with the naiads and wood nymphs, when a elfin messenger arrived from a strange city, far, far away in the land of the dawn, bringing the sad tidings of the death of Christ;and when they heard the terrible story of the crucifixion they wept. And as the tears fell upon the earth they were crystallized into little pebbles, on each of which was
formed a beautiful cross. When the fairies had disappeared from the enchanted spot the ground around the spring and the adjacent valley were strewn with these unique mementoes of that melancholy event. Not even in the old world, with its quaint and curious lore, is a more beautiful legend to be found, and just how it originated no one knows; but for more than a century thousands of people have held these little crosses of stone in more or less superstitous awe, being firm in the belief that they will protect the wearer against witchcraft, sickness, accidents and disasters of all kinds. Every stone is in some shape of a cross, and millions of people are now wearing them in various forms of jewelry. See "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine", by John Fox, Jr., (page 174). The lover gives his, sweetheart one of these stones and you will note the luck it gives them. Many of them are of the St. Andrews variety, others Roman, while those most sought after are the Maltese.
