This pale light blue has long been associated with kindness and a wish to avoid conflict and build friendly relationships, and by tradition is also said to strengthen friendship. The surface of this pale-blue natural stone carries a gentle wave-like pattern, giving this rosary a soft, easy character suited to wearers of any age; its distinctive gentleness and color have been admired since ancient times. Large-format chalcedony beads at this generous 2-shaku size are difficult to source, so only one piece is available. This piece follows the formal Soto-sect style, closely resembling the Rinzai-sect design but distinguished by a metal ring threaded onto the string.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eItem Number: 9902900000000\u003cbr\u003eMain Beads: Approx. 0.55 in (1.4 cm) – Chalcedony\u003cbr\u003eMain Beads: Approx. 0.47 in (1.2 cm) – Chalcedony\u003cbr\u003eTop Bead: Approx. 0.39 in (1.0 cm) – Chalcedony\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kohgen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48174620541165,"sku":"9902900000000","price":440.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/3003\/7997\/files\/9902900000000_1.jpg?v=1790753736","url":"https:\/\/shop.kohgen.com\/products\/mens-prayer-beads-chalcedony-2-shaku-size-soto","provider":"Kohgen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
