Tomb necklaces?

Hey, everyone! I'm new to this forum in particular and about six months into atheism. I know this is a silly thing to get worked up over, but unfortunately I'm still sweating the small stuff and talking to fellow heathens is what helps me most.

I'll spare you the story of my deconversion for now, but my family is still quite Christian and a couple of times my mother has cited religious artifacts to me to discourage my lack of faith. First there was the shroud of Turin. I'm still getting over that, but that's not what this is about either.

In particular, there are these gold necklaces (I believe they're called nativity necklaces after looking them up) that claim to boast a piece of the stone rolled away from Jesus' tomb. Given that it was about $600, it sounds like a case of "God loves you and needs money", but the less rational side of me keeps freaking out...
