Hainan seeds are only found up to 14mm; anything larger is not from Hainan and has poor density. Beads around 12mm are considered large collectible sizes. "Hidden Phoenix Eyes, Han Star-Moon," Star-Moon Bodhi is renowned as one of the four eminent jewels of the Bodhi realm, evoking the serene imagery of a clear, star-studded moonlit sky. This particular aesthetic is achievable only with Hainan seeds. Within the Star-Moon Bodhi hierarchy, Hainan seeds offer the finest density, developing a beautiful patina and captivating crackle patterns, making them a rare and exceptional variety. In recent years, the annual yield of Hainan seeds has steadily declined. Consequently, much of the Star-Moon Bodhi circulating in the market consists of Laotian seeds and other varieties, often misrepresented. True Hainan seed Star-Moon Bodhi originates exclusively from the wild "Maogan" region, which is why "Maogan Star-Moon" is so famously known. Star-Moon Bodhi seeds are derived from the fruit of the rattan plant. Each seed features a prominent dark spot surrounded by numerous smaller dots, resembling a moon embraced by stars, hence its name. The color and luster of the Bodhi beads evolve with wear. Regular handling enhances their sheen and deepens their color, leading to a more beautiful, even "jade-like" appearance over time. Star-Moon Bodhi Buddhist prayer beads not only carry profound spiritual significance related to achieving enlightenment but are also believed to possess protective qualities, enhancing wisdom and dispelling worries. As recorded in "Anle Ji Shang," Bodhi refers to "the supreme Buddha-dharma." The surface of the prayer beads is adorned with evenly distributed dark spots, each centered around a concave circular indentation, creating the visual effect of stars surrounding the moon, reminiscent of constellations. This captivating appearance has earned them the name Star-Moon Bodhi seeds and recognition as one of the "Four Great Jewels" of Bodhi. ========================================== | Identifying Quality Derong Star-Moon Bodhi | Star-Moon Bodhi on the market is primarily categorized into three grades: Superior Yuanbao seeds, followed by Jinchan seeds, and lastly Moni seeds. Characteristics of Yuanbao Seeds: Characteristic 1: High Density Seeds with high density exhibit a more pronounced solidity when polished, developing a rich, thick patina and glaze that is aesthetically pleasing. With extended wear, they turn yellow, enhancing their luster. Lower-density seeds are less apparent initially, and over time, their luster diminishes, the crackle appears rigid, and the seeds lose their inherent vitality. Characteristic 2: Black dots, not connected lines The essence of Star-Moon Bodhi lies in its depiction of stars surrounding the moon, like celestial bodies. Therefore, the black markings should appear as distinct dots, not interconnected lines. Characteristic 3: Durability Due to the high density and quality of Yuanbao seeds, prolonged wear (with proper care) will not result in cracking or breakage. | Derong Packaging | All jewelry purchased from our store will be carefully packaged using anti-collision materials and presented in a protective box. | How to Measure Your Wrist Circumference | Take a piece of string and wrap it around your wrist.
