Lavender amethyst prayer beads with a striking transparent wisteria color.
The outside of an amethyst rough stone is quartz, and the deeper you go into the rough stone, the more purple the color turns to amethyst.
Lavender amethyst is more rare than amethyst, and refers to the wisteria part just before the amethyst.
Its calming pale purple color makes it suitable for people of all ages.
About the Soto Zen sect
The shape of the Soto Zen prayer beads is very similar to that of the Rinzai Zen sect, but a distinctive feature of the Soto Zen sect is that the prayer beads have metal rings running through them.
It is unclear why they are there, but one theory is that these rings represent Bodhidharma.
