Men's Prayer Beads, Afghanistan Lapis Lazuli, 22 Beads, Limited Edition

Lapis lazuli is regarded as one of the oldest and most powerful power stones alongside quartz, revered in many cultures as a sacred stone believed to ward off evil spirits. It has been treasured since antiquity, worn by the Sumerian and Mesopotamian civilizations as well as the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, and is counted among the Seven Treasures of Buddhism; in Japan it has long been regarded as a stone of happiness alongside quartz. This piece uses the highest-quality lapis lazuli, sourced specifically from Afghanistan and prized for a vivid blue unmistakable at a glance. As lapis lazuli is the raw material for ultramarine pigment, its sea-blue color is a defining feature; here it has been selected in a balanced tone, neither too dark nor too bright, suited for everyday wear by men and appropriate for mourning attire. Each bead is carefully finished in Japan for a smooth surface, allowing the natural gold veining unique to lapis lazuli to stand out beautifully. This rare use of lapis lazuli in men's prayer beads is limited to 3 pieces.
