Men's Prayer Beads, Striped Starry Moon Bodhi Seed, 20 Beads, Sodalite Finish, Dark Navy Tassel

Men's Prayer Beads, Striped Starry Moon Bodhi Seed, 20 Beads, Sodalite Finish, Dark Navy Tassel — A Rare Striped Variety

For those who love the character of wood-fruit beads and want a combination not everyone else has, these striped Starry Moon Bodhi seed prayer beads are especially popular. Starry Moon Bodhi seed is mainly sourced in China. The name "Starry Moon" comes from likening the countless small black spots scattered across the seed's surface to "stars," and the larger dark spot at the joint with the stem to the "moon." The striped Starry Moon Bodhi seeds used in these prayer beads are called "striped starry moon" for the distinctive stripe pattern found in each bead, unlike ordinary Starry Moon Bodhi seeds. Striped starry moon is mainly sourced in China as well, but is treated as a rare, precious material since it occurs in smaller quantities than ordinary Starry Moon Bodhi seed. With long, careful use, the natural oils within the seed rise to the surface, and the beads develop a beautiful amber-like sheen over time. We hope you'll consider these rare and precious striped starry moon prayer beads.
