[Stars and Moon] Natural Hainan Stars and Moon Bodhi 108 Beads Mala

**Stars and Moon Bodhi** My fondness for Stars and Moon Bodhi began with its poetic name and the stunning transformation it undergoes after being worn and polished! Upon returning home, I rediscovered a string of Stars and Moon Bodhi beads I purchased during my school days. The beads were small, and I was drawn to them out of curiosity, marveling that they were once part of a plant. I also felt that using plant seeds as adornments could foster a deeper connection with nature. This connection acts like a "lightning rod," channeling negative emotions downwards, allowing them to settle and dissipate! I once encountered a truly beautiful set of Stars and Moon Bodhi prayer beads belonging to an elderly aunt who dedicated her time to Buddhist chanting. After retiring, she enjoyed tea gatherings with friends, traveling, and serene meditation. We've known each other for over three years, and each time I see her beads, I feel a profound sense of peace and joy. The beads have fully developed a lustrous patina and are beginning to take on a jade-like quality! Twist a bead, let go of a worry, and let time cultivate beauty! **The Craftsmanship** Natural Hainan Stars and Moon Bodhi forms the core of these prayer beads, crafted from aged material. The beads are dense and rich in oil, ideal for polishing! They are shaped in a Tibetan old-bead style with a flared hole, meticulously crafted during the prime season. The piece is adorned with a guru bead and three-hole spacer made of original high-gloss green turquoise. Waist beads are crafted from 999 pure silver pumpkin beads, while the top bead is a high-gloss green turquoise round bead. A cicada charm made of 999 pure silver serves as the back pendant. It also includes a pair of 925 silver Vajra and Ghanta counters. The turquoise beads exhibit natural matrix lines and will evolve in color with wear! The color and texture possess a captivating primitive, natural charm, which is one of the reasons I am so drawn to turquoise! The overall color palette of the mala is understated and elegant, exuding a simple yet grand aesthetic. The quality and texture are superb, with exquisite and unique adornments! The integrated counters offer enhanced convenience! **Specifications** Stars and Moon Bodhi: 7x9mm Green Turquoise Total Weight: 3g Green Turquoise Top Bead: 10.3mm 999 Pure Silver Pumpkin Bead: 8mm 999 Pure Silver Cicada: 14×10×7.5mm Green Turquoise Guru Bead: 15x9x8.5mm **Polishing and Care** Avoid contact with water and other liquids. Keep the beads clean. When not in use, clean them thoroughly before storing. Avoid storing them in excessively humid or dry environments! In the initial stages of polishing, use clean cotton gloves for about a month. Afterward, you can use your hands. If your hands are sweaty during summer, dry the beads before storing them! While polishing the beads, also polish the accessories! Repeat this process diligently! Always ensure your hands are clean for the beads to achieve their most beautiful and lustrous appearance! **Note** A cotton glove or a trinket pouch will be included with your purchase!
