Men's Prayer Beads, Kiso Cypress, 18 Beads, Aventurine Finish

A striking large-bead strand celebrating the fragrance of cypress. Kiso cypress grows in the Kiso Valley region of Nagano and, thanks to the area's cold climate, takes 70-80 years to mature -- far longer than the usual 30-40 years elsewhere in Japan -- giving it an exceptionally fine, beautiful grain. Simply holding the beads releases the wood's fragrant aroma. Aventurine, sometimes also called Indian jade, is a vivid green stone said to carry meanings of health and longevity, making this piece a fitting gift for someone important to you.
