Holy Land Market Olive Wood Pocket Cross

A pocket cross is meant to be held rather than displayed, and olive wood is the right material for that — it warms in the hand and takes a polish from use rather than wearing out. This one comes from the Holy Land, which is the substance of the gift and the reason for the price. At sixty-five dollars it is expensive for its size and that is not the relevant measure. The wood will darken over years of handling, which is the appeal. Buy it as a meaningful small gift. Skip it if he would find an object like this sentimental rather than steadying.
