Men's Prayer Beads, Antique Starry Moon Bodhi Seed, Brown Crystal Finish

Men's Prayer Beads, Antique Starry Moon Bodhi Seed, Brown Crystal Finish — A Motif of the Cosmos

Starry Moon Bodhi seed is mainly sourced in China, with seeds from Hainan Island considered especially high quality. The name "Starry Moon" comes from the countless small black spots on the seed's surface. Among these small spots is one especially large spot, a mark left where the seed was picked from its stem, appearing as a deeper, larger dark point than the rest. The small spots are likened to the stars of the night sky, and the single large spot to the moon — together forming the name "Starry Moon" for a bodhi seed covered in black spots on a white surface. This "antique" Starry Moon Bodhi seed has been dyed to a deeper tone, evoking the atmosphere of Starry Moon Bodhi seeds of the past, which had a richer coloring than what's commonly seen today. This piece uses brown crystal for the Parent Bead, giving it a composed, understated character. For anyone seeking a refined, subtle set of prayer beads inspired by the vast cosmos of nature, this piece comes highly recommended.
