Product Description
This little cross with Iona marble is a perfect gift from the island. A simple ringed cross known locally as St. Columba's Pillow Cross, from a legend that St. Columba used a stone as a pillow and that the image of a ringed cross appeared on it one night as he lay sleeping. This design is based on a carved oval stone which was found in a field north of the Abbey by a crofter in the 19th century and was proclaimed to be, "St Columba's Pillow".
The cross is accompanied by a hand cut and polished piece of Iona Marble 18mm x 13mm, collected from St. Columba's Bay. Please note the marble may vary from the one shown.
This piece of jewellery is made from 100% recycled AgAIN silver which emits 2/3 less CO2 than mined silver. AgAIN Sterling Silver is top-quality silver which makes a real difference by helping hospitals to earn money from old X-rays which would normally be stored or sent to landfill, providing customers with a fully traceable and sustainable silver supply, and helping the planet by minimising AgAIN’s carbon footprint.
