Jasper is one of the twelve foundation stones of the New Jerusalem, as written by Saint John in the book of Revelation. The Jasper available and valued at the time of his writing was green-hued, though there are an incredible number of varieties in a variety of colors. It is also named as one of the stones in the breastplate of Aaron, as described in Exodus. It could be highly polished, even long ago, and was used both as a gem and as a medium for sculpted items.

 

Quartz is very likely the stone referred to as “crystal” in the Bible. It was prized for its transparent quality and was used to make both gems and lenses. Both Old and New Testaments use it in metaphors to describe things as shining, clear, and smooth. Even in Biblical times it was a common mineral, and it is often used when describing expansive things, like the firmament or the sea.

 

Hearts bring to mind both the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our heart is our center, the wellspring of our spirit and our emotions, and is to be closely guarded. It is the most referenced body part in the Bible.

 

Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Patroness of the Americas, appeared to Juan Diego at Tepeyac in 1531. She has become a national symbol of Mexico and her shrine is the most visited Catholic site in the world.

 

The Holy Trinity crucifix depicts the Father supporting the Son on the Cross, with the Holy Spirit present above them.

Our goal is to provide you a rosary, not just sell you a rosary. We use only stainless steel eyepins, linkages, and jump rings for both their strength and durability. If there is any defect in the workmanship of a rosary you purchase from us, please let us know, and we will make it right, free of charge, including shipping, within the first year of purchase. Also, for as long as we make rosaries (a lifetime, we hope!), if a rosary we made for you ever has a broken linkage, eyepin, or jump ring, we will be happy to repair it, with cost limited to shipping. Whatever we can do to keep you praying!
