Aqua-Green Stone Cross Pendant

This item is a decorative cross pendant, likely intended to be worn on a necklace or bracelet. It measures approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in length. The cross itself is crafted from a material that appears to be a natural gemstone, possibly a form of chalcedony such as chrysoprase or a similar pale green jadeite. Its color is a distinctive light, opaque aqua-green or teal, exhibiting a uniform hue with no visible veining or inclusions, suggesting a high-quality, homogeneous material or a manufactured material designed to mimic such. The surface of the cross appears smooth and polished, indicating a careful finish. The shape is a traditional Latin cross with equal-length horizontal arms and a longer vertical arm. The edges are clean and well-defined, suggesting precise cutting and polishing. At the top of the vertical arm, there is a small, silver-colored metal bail attached, which is typical for pendants, allowing it to be strung onto a chain. The bail appears to be made of a polished metal, possibly sterling silver or a base metal alloy, and shows no obvious signs of tarnish or wear. There are no discernible maker's marks, signatures, or specific brand stamps visible on the pendant from the provided image. The overall condition appears to be very good, with no overt chips, scratches, or cracks visible on the stone. The piece suggests a modern or contemporary style, possibly from the late 20th or early 21st century, given its clean lines and simple design. Its craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with attention paid to the stone's cut and polish, and the secure attachment of the bail.
