Men's Prayer Beads, Black Persimmon, Hematite-in-Rutile Finish, 22 Beads, Limited Edition

Men's Prayer Beads, Black Persimmon, Hematite-in-Rutile Finish, 22 Beads, Limited Edition

This rosary pairs rare black persimmon wood with hematite-in-rutile, a distinctive natural stone in which hematite forms within rutilated quartz – itself long regarded as a stone that increases financial fortune. 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, while the hematite-in-rutile used here is an especially rare natural stone.
