Main Beads: Star Moon Bodhi Seed Main Bead, Parent Bead, End Bead, Tassel: Amethyst Tassel: Pure Silk Main Bead Size: Approx. 5mm Body Size: Approx. 24cm (when stretched) There are several types of Bodhi seeds, but among them, the Star Moon Bodhi seed is less likely to crack because the beads have no hollow parts. Also, as you use it, it gains color and luster, developing a deep and flavorful hue. As this is a stock item, it already has a deep color that would normally develop over many years. This is an official Jodo Shinshu Buddhist prayer bead. A box and prayer bead bag are not included. Only the main item will be wrapped and shipped. Please understand.
