Men's Buddhist rosary, Burmese jade, 13.5cm long, Rinzai costume, 25 momme tassel

We have prepared large Burmese jade prayer beads. Jade is often associated with green or blue-green, but the color varies depending on the minerals contained in the stone, and there are various shades such as red, orange, yellow, purple, white, and black. Jade is called the emerald of the Orient due to its rarity, and has been used as a noble ornament since ancient times. It was used for magatama and other items in the Jomon period, and is a gemstone that has been loved by Japanese people. It was also used as a material for stone tools because it is difficult to break. It has been said to be the most valuable gemstone in China since ancient times, and has been prized as a status symbol. Jade is the birthstone for May, and is said to "ward off misfortune," "balance the mind," and "activate metabolism." The stone word for jade is "health," and many people give prayer beads to pray for health. Please enjoy these prayer beads with the beautiful green and patterns unique to Burmese jade.
