Men's Prayer Beads, Hainan Starry Moon Bodhi Seed, Oval Bead, 24 Beads, Blue Tiger's Eye Finish, String Tassel

Looking to move up to a higher-quality set of prayer beads, but don't want something everyone else has? That's exactly why we recommend these Starry Moon Bodhi seed prayer beads. Starry Moon Bodhi seed, sourced mainly from China, gets its name from the appearance of the seed itself, covered in countless small spots. Among those spots is one larger spot — a mark left where the seed was picked from its stem, deeper and larger than the other spots. The many small spots are said to represent the stars in the night sky, while the single large spot represents the moon — hence the name "Starry Moon" for a bodhi seed with black spots on a white surface. Starry Moon Bodhi seeds are also said to represent the Buddhist world, since the seeds have long been likened to the stars and moon of the night sky, said to represent the universe, believed to be the world of the Buddha. This piece is finished with blue tiger's eye, an unusual and eye-catching variant of the popular stone.
