That's beautiful. What are the beads made of?

The Rudrakasha Bead is from a tree growing in Nepal, Tibet, India, Indonesia, Malasia, and Australia. The outside of the fruit is an iridescent blue. Spiritual Seekers, Richis, Yogis, and Everyday people have honored and worn the Rudrakasha since time immemorial because of the special energies of this subtly vibrational bead. It is said that it strengthens the immune system, lowers blood pressure, protects the wearer, attracts positive spiritual vibrations, and holds the energy of a mantra that is repeated upon this bead. The Matrika of spiritual energy of the prayer or mantra is infused into the subtle spiritual layers of a person who uses it. It is said that the god Shiva meditated for 100 years, gathering the spiritual energy of his meditation into his third eye when after a century he used the energy to shoot a beam of light at a being who needed upliftment out of the lower realms. Where the light from Shiva's third eye hit the earth, Rudrakasha trees sprang up. The fruit of this tree holds Shiva's special destroyer energy of light. Shiva destroys all that is not the love in ones own heart, leaving perfection. To wear a string of Rudrakasha beads is to not only protect your own spiritual unfoldment but to make your prayers and mantras 1 million times more powerful than if you said them with out the bead. The mysterious nature of the Rudrakasha will not harm anyone and only improve ones circumstances and spiritual path. Some think they are truly miraculous and a boon to anyone on a spiritual path.
