Gold Star Pendant
Please help me identify / locate this amazing gem!?
On a recent cruise a friend of mine bought a BEAUTIFUL, black gem stone pendant with brilliant sparkles. The shop she got it in, told her it was "venturite" or something like that. But we cannot find it under that name, on the internet. The sparkles are very small specks. It almost appears solid black until light reflects. They are not gold flakes. It makes me think of what it might look like to fly through the stars at night. Anyway, if you have any idea what this stone might be, please let me know. THANKS!
Does it look like this?

The mineral Tourmaline is sometimes cut into the gemstone Verdalite, which is a similar word to that which you mentioned.

Staurolite - The transparent to opaque staurolite has a vitreous luster and comes in colors from reddish brown to black. One major interesting feature of staurolite is the interpenetration twinning, which can be seen in about 35 percent of the specimens. The crystals form in two twin types, x-shaped and +-shaped. Staurolite exhibits a hardness of 7-7.5 and a density of 3.7 to 3.8. Staurolite is in the monoclinic crystal system. Pleochroism can be seen, although colors and depth vary at different angles, from a strong yellow to yellow-red to red. Specimens are found associated with other metamorphic minerals such as almandine garnet, kyanite, and mica minerals. This cross form of this silicate mineral is associated with Christianity and considered by some to be good luck. Other names have been attributed to staurolite such as "Fairy Stone" or "Fairy Cross".
