Best Relic Available of Bernadette of Lourdes (Bernadette Soubirous) in a Gothic Shrine Reliquary.
This very rare relic is contained in a fancy silver theca. Theca is housed in a gleaming shrine reliquary with cut jewels measuring approximately 3" by 4" by 6" tall. Gothic designs are incorporated throughout in this gleaming reliquary with many spirals, tiled roof designs, and a lovely button footed base. Intricate wax seal and all threads perfectly intact with date and batch number.

Note that the relic is the small dark area in the round or oval theca. The name of the saint is written above or below this area. Most relic particles are pinhead in size and covered with a resin or glue of some sort. Because the particle is so small, and that particle is covered with glue or resin, it is nearly impossible to see with the naked eye what the relic is without looking under a magnifying glass. Furthermore, you are looking at digital pictures that are not the best quality. Most particles look dark, some are light, but most everyone knows this information who are familiar with relics.The relic is cloth. However,some are not informed or misinformed about relics, and hopefully this information will help those who are unfamiliar with the actual relic itself.
