Description from the seller
Old long rosary of 59 crystal beads doubled with Ouraline from the late 19th century.
This Ouraline rosary is a type of rosary made from a particular kind of glass called 'ouraline.' Ouraline, also known as 'uranium glass,' is a glass that contains a small amount of uranium oxide, giving it a unique yellow-green color and a fluorescent glow under ultraviolet light.
This material was popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries for making decorative objects.
Although ouraline glass contains uranium, its radioactivity is generally very low, but it remains measurable.
A rosary made from this material would therefore have a distinctive appearance and could be sought after by collectors or enthusiasts of antique and unique religious objects.
State:
Very good condition. Sold with its original leather pouch.
Photos are an integral part of the description of objects and complement their presentation.
They allow for appreciating its condition and features.
Please review them thoroughly prior to any commitment.
This rosary comes from a European private collection and has been carefully preserved.
It will be shipped with the utmost care, with tracking, and well protected.
Good luck with your bids!
