An amulet of light forged in shadow—this cross pendant channels the ancient power of raw earth. Each raw Petroleum Smoky Quartz is uniquely placed: grounding, guiding, and protecting. The vertical spine cascades downward through six stones, beginning with a raw square at the top, moving through two slender natural fragments, and ending in a grounding raw square at the base.
At the heart lies a central horizontal trio—two matching square stones balanced on each side of a central axis, forming the sacred cross. Bound in rich 18K gold-plated silver, the pendant radiates strength and solemn elegance.
Crafted for the seeker, the keeper of light, the protector of truth. Wear this piece:
As a spiritual compass in times of transition
To anchor and cleanse your energy
During ceremony, prayer, or deep meditation
As a gift of protection for a loved one
As a striking symbol of earthy elegance and devotion

Jewelry Care & Maintenance – Gold-Plated Jewelry
Gold-plated jewelry is crafted by applying a thin layer of gold over another metal such as sterling silver or brass. To preserve its golden lustre:
Avoid contact with water, perfumes, lotions, and cleaning agents
Remove before swimming, bathing, or exercising
Gently wipe after wear with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and sweat
Store separately in a pouch or lined box to prevent scratches
Do not use polishing cloths or abrasive materials, which can wear down the gold layer
With mindful wear and gentle care, your gold-plated piece will retain its warmth and brilliance for years to come.
