A sculptural cross pendant carved from deep green stone, shaped with softly flared arms that catch light along their edges. The rich color and simple form give the piece a grounded, almost elemental presence—something that feels both devotional and natural. Jewelry like this became especially popular in the mid–late 20th century, when carved stone pendants reflected a growing appreciation for organic materials and bold, symbolic shapes.
