The name derives from an old Chinese tradition of naming animals by their eyes: a single-eyed pattern was called 'phoenix,' giving rise to 'phoenix-eye bodhi,' while a three-eyed pattern was called 'dragon,' giving rise to 'longan (dragon-eye) bodhi.' The beads used here are left in their natural, unrounded form as taken directly from the fruit, preserving the raw texture of nature; over time and with use, the seed's natural oils give it a beautiful amber patina that deepens with age. The tiger's eye stone used for the main and top beads is prized for its distinctive banded pattern and is believed to sharpen insight, discernment, and decisiveness while attracting good fortune in work and finances. The cut surfaces of the bodhi seed have been specially treated to guard against insects, so the piece can be enjoyed with full peace of mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eItem Number: 631v071000000\u003cbr\u003eParent Bead (Oyadama): Approx. 0.59 in (1.5 cm) – Tiger's Eye\u003cbr\u003eMain Beads (Shudama): Approx. 0.51 in (1.3 cm) – Longan Bodhi Seed\u003cbr\u003eTop Bead (Tendama): Approx. 0.31 in (0.8 cm) – Tiger's Eye\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kohgen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48205117423853,"sku":"631v071000000","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/3003\/7997\/files\/631v071000000_1.jpg?v=1784189420","url":"https:\/\/shop.kohgen.com\/products\/mens-prayer-beads-longan-bodhi-tigers-eye","provider":"Kohgen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
