Tibetan Prayer Beads with Ruby Bracelet

Bodhi Tree beads with a 12mm natural ruby center stone on a hand-knotted adjustable cord bracelet. 

These Tibetan antique prayer beads that were collected by myself on the Tibetan Plateau. They are seeds from the Bodhi Tree which is the tree that the Buddha sat under when he achieved enlightenment. They have a wonderful patina from being worn for many years and so do not wash to preserve the oils.

Ruby -

Emanating the vibrant and powerful pure Red Ray this stone has an energizing and activating effect to one's physical, mental and emotional body. A stone known to enhance the passion and fortitude within you, wearing a Ruby brings a vivacious energy when pursuing personal aspirations and goals. Imparting a vigorous attitude toward life, Ruby creates an openhearted willingness to make leaps of faith towards moving forward in career, relationship or a spiritual path one is embarking upon. This sense of courage can alleviate feelings of doubt and quells anxiety by helping us to become comfortable with the unknown. 

Found in India, Cambodia, and Mexico.
