The hand-carved Olive Tree Cross and the Pendant of Eternal Faith, each holding certified soil from Jerusalem's Temple Mount. Together for $99.
The Temple Mount is where Solomon built the First Temple, where the Second Temple stood, and where Jesus taught. For 3,000 years it has been the center of biblical history.
"To think that you are holding soil from the Mount where Jesus walked is an undescribable feeling."Karen A., verified buyer
In 1999, about 9,000 tons of earth were dug out of the Temple Mount and dumped in the Kidron Valley. Archaeologists Dr. Gabriel Barkay and Zachi Dvira started the Temple Mount Sifting Project to save it, sifting it by hand and recovering more than 500,000 artifacts, including a silver half-shekel from the Jewish revolt.
The Cross & Pendant Set holds certified soil from that same earth in two ways: a cross that stays in your home, and a pendant you can carry with you, wherever you go.
Every piece in the set can be traced from the soil to a numbered certificate.
Soil removed from the Temple Mount is sifted by hand by the Temple Mount Sifting Project, the only authorized body verifying and studying Temple Mount material.
Once the archaeological artifacts are removed, the soil is certified, and each certificate is signed by the project's co-founders, Dr. Gabriel Barkay and Zachi Dvira.
It's sealed into the cross's capsule and the pendant's numbered glass bottle, with provenance documents and a QR code.

The certificate also explains the soil's grey color: it contains ashes from the destruction of the First and Second Temples.
