$218.00 USD

Agate rosary of the Rinzai sect.


Agate is often found in lumps in volcanic rocks, and is characterized by the fact that when it is formed, its color changes and stripes appear due to the influence of iron and other elements.

Agate is said to be a stone that promotes intelligence, longevity, and health, and is said to "give courage to the wearer" and "build smooth human relationships."

Agate comes in a variety of colors, but red agate is particularly striking with its fiery, vivid color.
It was named agate because the process of its formation and its shape resemble a horse's brain.

Agate, with its beautiful luster and transparency, is a stone that makes the wearer look even more gorgeous.

The shape is similar to that of the Soto sect's rosary, but this one does not have rings.
