Small-Leaf Red Sandalwood: Small-leaf red sandalwood grows slowly, with one growth ring per five years, and takes 800 years to mature. It is also known for its ability to ward off evil and misfortune, hence it has been a royal heirloom and a spiritual item for Buddhist practice since ancient times. Small-leaf red sandalwood can nourish qi, blood, and enhance beauty. When played with, it emits a substance called "phytoncide," which can calm the mind and is highly beneficial for lung function. Natural Southern Red Agate: Southern Red Agate is a mineral formed during volcanic eruptions. Due to the impact of high temperature and pressure, Southern Red Agate inevitably develops cracks during its formation. Therefore, some say: "No crack, no Southern Red Agate." As the old saying goes, "Ten Southern Reds, nine cracks," so natural lines, layers, small spots, and minor cracks formed by the inherent patterns are not flaws. Natural Southern Red Agate is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, possessing the effect of warding off evil and protecting the body, and is also one of the most health-preserving gemstones. Agate contains natural minerals, and wearing jewelry made from Southern Red Agate for a long time has the effects of nourishing the five internal organs, calming the soul, beautifying the skin, and also has good effects on medical health. ***Dragon Charm*** Dragon's whiskers, writing classics.

If any material requires further processing for product matching, we will specifically indicate it. Some small-leaf red sandalwood may be brighter and reddish, while others are dark purple or blackish-red; these are all natural phenomena. This is due to the oxidation reaction of the red sandalwood pigment with the air, which is more apparent in sunlight. The richer the red sandalwood pigment, the more the color will shift towards dark purple-black. However, the product still maintains its luster, brightness, and softness, and the grain of the product itself will not change. This is an expression of the excellent quality of the material. This product is handmade, so there may be some signs of handcrafting on the braided cord. We will try our best to avoid them where possible, and some slight marks may be present for safety and durability. We will try to place them in inconspicuous areas or conceal them. All products in our store are photographed in kind, one item, one picture. Professional photographic equipment and natural daylight are used, and professional photography strives to restore the true color and essence of the product as much as possible. However, there may be slight deviations due to differences in the viewer's monitor and environment. If you have any questions, you can also consult customer service for multi-angle photos of the actual product to understand it better. ***Care for Small-Leaf Red Sandalwood*** 1. After purchasing a small-leaf red sandalwood bracelet, it should be played with correctly, otherwise its original value may be easily lost. 2. When maintaining it in daily wear, do not apply wax or oil, as small-leaf red sandalwood wood is naturally oily, and only its own generated oil is needed. 3. Small-leaf red sandalwood is afraid of water. When washing hands or bathing, the bracelet should be removed. In addition, purple sandalwood bracelets should avoid places with a lot of dust and dirt to prevent pollution and damage to the original scent of the purple sandalwood. 4. Small-leaf red sandalwood is easily soluble in alcohol, so it should be kept away from alcoholic substances or corrosive chemical liquids such as gasoline and disinfectants, otherwise it may damage the small-leaf red sandalwood. 5. Although small-leaf red sandalwood is hard wood, it should still be avoided from colliding with hard jewelry, as it is wood after all. Therefore, pay attention to minimizing contact with sharp objects during wear to avoid scratches. Avoid contact with high temperatures, especially fire. 6. If it gets dirty, rinse with clean water and dry, or wipe clean with a soft clean cloth. Try not to use any cleaning agents such as detergents, as acidic or alkaline detergents may corrode the small-leaf red sandalwood wood bracelet. 7. When not wearing the small-leaf red sandalwood prayer bead bracelet, it should be sealed and stored in a cool, ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight, which can cause the beads to lose moisture and lead to surface cracking. It is best to store it in pure cotton cloth or a sealed bag.
