Women's Prayer Beads, Crystal, 8-Sun Length, Blue Tiger's Eye Finish, Jodo Sect

Women's Prayer Beads, Crystal, 8-Sun Length, Blue Tiger's Eye Finish, Jodo Sect

Crystal is the most fundamental of all prayer bead materials, its neighboring facets forming at consistent angles said to bring harmony to home and workplace. Crystal's clear, unaffected sparkle also complements mourning attire beautifully. This strand's thread is drawn through in a pale green tone, giving the crystal a subtle tinted cast that's a distinctive detail of this particular piece. Finished with blue tiger's eye. Jodo sect prayer beads traditionally use a double-loop, interlinked strand: one loop of 27 beads and a second of 20 (or 40) beads, with 10 flat counting beads and 6 round counting beads attached. Unlike most other sects, the Jodo sect's formal strand does not use 108 main beads, but it is capable of counting further than any other style -- roughly 30,000 recitations for the men's strand and 60,000 for the women's strand, making it a true classic among prayer beads.
