The Shadowed Relic Cross | Black Obsidian & Metallic Hematite Pendant

A dark, enigmatic statement of courtly faith, The Shadowed Relic Cross merges ancient stone texture with refined 16th-century style.

Crafted with natural black obsidian and micaceous hematite glass, the cross displays a subtle, metallic gunmetal sheen that catches the light with a silvery-gray luster. At its center, a vertical likeness of Christ is lightly etched into the face of the stone, creating an authentic, hand-carved relic appearance.

Suspended from an all-black, 3mm x 24" curved rounded-edge box chain made from waterproof 316L stainless steel, this piece is hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant, and silky-smooth against the skin.
