Rudraksha (the fruit of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree) is a seed named for the countless "eye"-like spots on its surface, and is said to "watch over everything with a thousand eyes." Each of these seeds has a unique pattern, and no two are alike. They are handmade, making each one a unique, one-of-a-kind item just for you. The tree only blooms once every 40 years, and it takes about 3 years from flowering to fruiting. After the fruit is produced, many trees die, making it so precious that it is called the "King of Bodhi Trees." It is said to have a powerful purifying effect, and simply wearing it is said to purify the mind and body. It also has a calming effect, and is said to remove negative thoughts and stabilize the mind. The seeds are rough as they are, but they have been carefully polished. With simple double-loop hardware, it can be easily attached to keys, as well as used as a bag charm or a point of accent on a pouch. It goes well with denim as well as Japanese attire. Why not give it as a gift to someone special? Materials: Seed: Rudraksha: Fruit of the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree Beads: Camel bone Skull design Fringe: Suede cord Metal parts: Silver-colored plating
