This is an authentic Hawaiian Puka shell necklace selected for color (white) with intermittent Rudraksha beads.The Puka shells were picked on the western shores of the Big Island of Hawaii by "Uncle Whit" and family.The Rudraksha beads were harvested from near our hotsell community on the slopes of Kilauea volcano in Kalapana,where there happen to be small hidden stands of this sacred tree.These trees are native to India and Nepal,so to see them thriving in Hawai'i is very special.They are used as prayer strands in the Hindu tradition...We put 7 beads on this necklace as this is a holy number and 108 wouldn't fit.The Hawaiian grown Rudraksha seeds seems to be exceedingly beautiful and high quality.Although we are not qualified to make an expert assessment,when we handle these beads during the meticulous cleaning process they feel powerful,sacred and are truly mesmerizing...We are now sharing them with you here on Etsy!Thanks for looking!Aloha!
