The blue gray of the larvikite contrast with the silver creating a striking combination. Larvikite has a distinctive appearance that sets it apart from other rocks. It has a dark, mottled gray to black base color. The most notable characteristic of larvikite is the presence of labradorescence, which can produce striking flashes of blue, silver, or green when the stone is viewed from different angles. Larvikite takes its name from the town of Larvik in Norway, where it was first discovered.

This "warrior rosary" is a real weapon.  A copper St. Michael center and the Pardon Crucifix complete this powerful rosary.  The Archangel Saint Michael is the leader of the heavenly army, defender against evil, and the patron saint of warriors and those in need of protection. The pardon crucifix is a crucifix that incorporates promises of indulgences (remissions of temporal punishment for sins). The pardon crucifix serves as a reminder of God's mercy and the importance of seeking forgiveness for one's sins. (A handout is included with this rosary that explains the Pardon Crucifix, history and indulgences)

This beautiful handmade rosary crafted in Oklahoma is made of large 10mm nonfaceted (smooth) beads accented with intricate bead caps.
