Product Details
. . a unique gift of faith handcrafted from Azabache by artisans in northern Spain
"Jet purifies and protects" So goes the saying about this mystical and wonderful 'gemstone' that originates from the Jurassic period on earth, some 65 million years ago, in the forests of the northern hemisphere - particularly in northern Europe. This exquisitely-carved jet cross is in the form of the Cross of St James (Cruz de Santiago).
Azabache is quite difficult to carve, and specialist Azabacheros and "grabadores compostelanos" (who have trained over generations in northern-eastern Spain) have hand-crafted this delightful cross of Saint James. In Spain it is known as "la piedra mágica" (the magic stone). Pilgrims and other visitors to Santiago de Compostela especially appreciate this cross as a souvenir.

The 1,000-year-old pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela is known as the Way of St. James (El Camino de Santiago - in Spanish). Some 2000,000 pilgrims travel to the city each year from all over the world to find inspiration and/or deeper spiritual understanding. Many carry with them a St James's Cross - believed to promote strength and hope.
Crosses that feature Jet (Azabache in Spanish), make ideal gifts for someone who is starting a new phase in their life, because Jet jewellery has traditionally offered protection and good fortune. Jet jewelry is said to neutralise negative energy and protect people from fear and indecision.
Dimensions: Cross measures 40mm in length including the hanging bail, x 28mm wide, and comes with an 18ins sterling silver snake chain ( 20ins length also available - Please choose in Options box)
