Thank you for watching (˶ˊᵕˋ˵) I've created an original macrame hair tie using 10mm frosted red agate with a six-syllable mantra carving. ❈ The design allows for easy replacement of the elastic if it breaks or stretches. It's also cute to wear on your wrist when not in use (˶ˊᵕˋ˵) ● Frosted red agate with a six-syllable mantra carving The six-syllable mantra is "Om Mani Padme Hum."
