Men's Prayer Beads, Matte Ebony, 20 Beads, Single-Strand, Lapis Lazuli Finish, Hotaru Tassel, Limited Edition

A one-of-a-kind piece pairing the natural warmth of ebony with lapis lazuli, a favorite among natural stone enthusiasts. Ebony, native to southern India and Sri Lanka, grows slowly, giving it a dense, hard grain that is prized for furniture and Buddhist altars, and its rich black tone here is set off by lapis lazuli's deep indigo blue for a calm, dignified impression. Lapis lazuli, alongside crystal, is considered one of the oldest and most powerful power stones, revered around the world as a "sacred stone" said to ward off evil. Worn by rulers of the Sumerian, Mesopotamian, and ancient Egyptian civilizations, it has long been treasured, and is counted among the Seven Treasures of Buddhism as a "stone of happiness." Its color, more vivid than the sea, is flecked here and there with threads of gold.
