・Leveraging the natural texture of the wood, these luxurious striped ebony beads are combined with natural stones. This finish is worthy of the style of a honren juzu. Striped ebony, ranging in color from reddish-purple to purple, is often used in traditional high-end Buddhist altars. The beautiful wood grain with striking stripes enhances the beauty of the beads, offering the warmth and profound charm unique to natural wood.
