These bodhi beads are known as star and moon Bodhi beads. Star and moon Bodhi beads are Daemonorops seeds. Tibetans call Daemonorops seeds Bodhi beads. The origin is from the tropical areas in South China, Indonesia, and India. These beads are commonly used to make Tibetan malas. When the color is white before being dyed brown, they are also called lotus root, lotus seeds, or linen nuts. The beads are very hard and dense. The small holes on the beads are called moons and the tiny black spots covering the surface are called stars. These seeds have the highest density of resin. The wood-like inside texture is solid and dense. We have included a photo of a smashed bead in the photos to the left. The beads are handcrafted and dyed. Imperfections may exist due to the handmade nature.
