The Howlite cross with a 45cm (17.7 in) stainless steel gold chain and an additional 5cm (2 in) extension is an authentic monastic jewel from Mount Athos. The cross measures 2 cm x 2.5 cm (0.78 in x 0.98 in), and the soft blue Howlite with delicate black veins blends harmoniously with the shiny gold chain, adding elegance and spiritual character. A distinctive piece of jewelry suitable for daily wear as well as special occasions.
