Features acid-etched, 'crackle' Carnelian beads for Aves, and smooth, handmade Carnelian Paters. There is a story behind the double-armed Caravaca Crucifix--here is an explanation from eHow.com:
-
According to legend, during the 13th century the city of Caravaca was under Moorish Muslim rule. The rulers destroyed all crosses in the town
upon taking over. The Moorish chief held a priest named Chirinos
prisoner. The chief ordered Chirinos to perform a mass to satisfy his
curiosity of the Christian service. Chirinos told the chief he could not
perform the mass, because there was no cross available. The chief
accused the priest of lying, at which point, two angels appeared
carrying a two-armed cross for the priest's service.
