Quite the opposite, actually. This pendant has its orgins in south-central america, almost certainly cuba. Saint barbara is held with special devotions  in this area. (In the movie scarface, there is a large picture of saint barbara in tony montana's mothers kitchen, it is very prominent in the scene) similar  pendants are owned by many cuban catholics. I am not cuban, but i own one from cuba.
