Description from the seller

Religious rosary, early 20th century.

It is made of uraniferous opal and therefore has a unique property: it reacts to UV rays by emitting a green fluorescent light.

The crucifix of Christ has two arms made of mother-of-pearl, and it is engraved on its back with "LOURDES • PAT • PEND • FRANCE".

Dimensions: 60 cm in length

In very good overall condition, see photos.
