The Cross - Consecration


The Cross is used not just for ornamentation, but also religious significance. The cross is a sign of consecration. For Christians it symbolizes God's act of love and atonement in Christ's sacrifice and Jesus' victory over sin and death.

Shown above is an extra long Sardonyx and Carnelian necklace that features a large Sardonyx hand cut cross that I imported from China. Exceptionally beautiful!
Sardonyx is the stone of the senses. Said to improve sensory perception and sharpen the mind. It encourages optimism and confidence, plus is said to halp bereaved people see the positive side of life again. Carnelian symbolizes activity. It promotes idealism, increases vitality and zest for life, while enhancing stability and the courage to carry out daily tasks. Read more about the properties and symbolism of gemstones.
