Sealing Seal - Zebra Jasper And Silver - Period: XIXth Century

Very nice seal in green zebra jasper with black stripes. 

The zebra jasper is the "anti-apathy" stone. 
It allows to be optimistic in spite of the stress of the life and gives more initiative to face all types of problems. 
It will encourage us to dare to dream and to turn our dreams into reality.  It is still worn as a protective amulet by some tribal priests.

Its silver mounting reveals with delight the monogram of the Hospitallers of Notre Dame de Lourdes with the anchor and the crown, sublimated by a crown of fleur-de-lis supporting the stone.

Period: 19th century
Dimensions : Height : 7cm - Diameter : 2cm

The Hospitalité Notre-Dame de Lourdes is an archconfraternity created in Lourdes (Hautes-Pyrénées) in 1885, which became in 1956 an association under the law of 1901. 
Its members are hospitaliers.

They are volunteers and come from many countries around the world.

Their mission is to welcome and accompany thousands of pilgrims, especially the sick and disabled, who come to Lourdes.
