Antique bodhi seeds are rare and highly sought after.  This antique bodhi bead comes from a 108 bead mala that we purchased just outside of the Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu.  Bodhi seeds have special meaning for all seekers of divine wisdom.  It was underneath the bodhi tree where the Buddha first attained enlightenment.

The ancient fossilized mastodon bone bead is truly a unique artifact from the prehistoric era.  Because it is from the earth and was once organic material, these fossils have strong grounding properties and calming energies.

Montana agate is a translucent stone with inclusions of minerals that create the gorgeous natural colorations.  It is simple, yet truly unique.  Agate is known to be a stone of strength, and can help to balance yin/yang energies.  It promotes harmony, courage, and healing.

Bracelet measures approximately 7-7.25 inches around on stretchy cord.  Agate beads are 6mm.  Mastodon bead is about 8-10mm.  Antique bodhi bead is 10-11mm.
