One of a Kind, rare 8 x 10mm dark Bodhi. Small Bodhi like these are costly and very rare. This is a hard to find, unique Tibetan Style Bodhi Seed Mala, with everything that you need! It comes complete with antique style counters attached, as well as a 10,000 knot of eternity counter and a mala pouch, well designed with real red coral, turquoise, old amazonite, camelbone and silver/brass markers. Bodhi is the Sanskrit word for ""awakened."" Bodhi Seed is the traditional Tibetan Buddhist Mala, with large, approx. 8- 10mm beads that become more beautiful with age and use. Perfect for prostration (bowing) practice. Bodhiseeds absorb the oils from your skin and from the environment to become a shining dark, almost petrified bead. We take new, slightly shaped, and tea-stained Bodhi Seeds, and custom string them with various hunks of beads and semiprecious stones including real turquoise, coral and sterling spacers. We offer the strongest beadcraft materials available, so work well for heavy use like ""prostrations."" (If coral is used, please note that coral is inherently porous, and this mala, the root of the coral is black, and should not be considered a defect)|n||n|All malas have a 30 day guarantee to protect from breakage.
