Scottish Highland Marble Celtic Cross Pendant

Note: Since this is a natural stone, the color and pattern may vary slightly from the specimens shown.

Sterling silver pendant in a Celtic cross design with Scottish Highland marble. The design of this pendant is modeled after the Celtic cross, also known as the High Cross or Irish Cross. This form of cross is found primarily in the British Isles, especially in Ireland and Scotland, and dates back to the early Middle Ages.

Scottish marble is quarried by hand in the Highlands and on the islands of Iona, Mull, and Skye. Often, diving into the cold Atlantic is necessary to access the exposed veins of the marble.
Each piece of marble is sorted, cut, ground and polished by hand.

On the Scottish islands, the green stone has long been considered a lucky stone and the fishermen of the islands of Iona never leave the harbor without their green lucky stone.
