$405.00 USD
Lavender amethyst prayer beads with an impressive transparent purple color.
The outside of the amethyst rough stone is quartz, and the deeper you go into the rough stone, the more purple the color turns to amethyst.
Lavender amethyst is more rare than amethyst, and refers to the purple part just before the amethyst.
Its calm pale purple color makes it suitable for people of all ages.
★About the sect
Regarding Shingon Buddhist prayer beads, one theory is that it was the Shingon sect that first brought prayer beads to Japan.
Therefore, the shape is very similar to the formal prayer beads that are used by all eight sects.
The shape is often a red string running through two tassels on the front and back.
The prayer beads that people carry with them on pilgrimages are also slightly longer versions of these Shingon Buddhist prayer beads.
