Buried Thunderbolt Pumtek Bracelet 29

• A true collector's piece, this one-of-a-kind bracelet is hand strung at our shop in Michigan and features one of the rarest beads in the world: a genuine antique Pumtek bead, meaning "buried thunderbolt."
• Crafted from Opalized Wood, a fossilized material native to Burma, this Pumtek bead is a relic of the past—highly sought after, deeply symbolic, and nearly impossible to find.
• Revered for their grounding energy and used as protection amulets by the Burmese and Tibetans, Pumtek beads are treasured for both their spiritual power and their story. They carry a powerful grounding energy and a timeless connection to the earth.

Our team recently sourced a small collection of 10 antique Pumtek beads from a trusted husband-and-wife artisan team from Nepal who specialize in authentic Tibetan artifacts. We first met them years ago at a gem show in Arizona and reconnected at a local show here in Michigan, where we carefully selected each bead for its age and quality. Each Pumtek bead holds its own special history and energy, making them true heirloom treasures.

Inspired by the unique character of each Pumtek bead, our jewelry specialist thoughtfully selected a complementary gemstone to amplify its energy and symbolism. Amazonite was chosen for it's soothing and empowering energy — believed to calm the mind, open the heart, and encourage communication.

Your bracelet is a fusion of ancient history and modern intention. Individually hand-strung here at the DharmaShop and completely one-of-a-kind.
