Men's Prayer Beads, Black Persimmon, Malachite Finish, 18 Beads, Limited Edition

This rosary combines rare black persimmon wood with malachite. Black persimmon is a variety of Japanese persimmon known for a clearer, more distinctive grain pattern than that of ebony or rosewood, the classic 'karaki' hardwoods; its status as a premium material comes from its scarcity, as only about one in a hundred persimmon trees felled yields wood with this striking black patterning from a natural mutation. Prized for crafts such as fine tea canisters and ornamental pieces for its hardness and rich luster, black persimmon lends these beads a calm, refined color. Malachite of this large size for men's prayer beads is not often available, making it uncertain when a piece like this will be offered again. This is a one-off item – please secure it while available.
