Buried Thunderbolt Pumtek Bracelet 11

• The word Pumtek means, "buried thunderbolt" and these Pumtek beads are among the rarest and most sought after collectable beads in the world.
• Pumtek beads are made of opalized wood, a material that is indigenous to Burma where the beads originated. Opalized wood occurs when wood is fossilized and turned into stone, making these beads extremely unique.
• These antique beads are highly collectable. DharmaShop founder, Sander Cohen, sourced these beads earlier this year through a trusted friend and collector of Tibetan artifacts and antique beads. The one-of-a-kind Pumtek bead is hand strung here at the DharmaShop with true Turquoise discs separated by brass spacers.

This bracelet features a round Pumtek with 6 stripes, representing multiple fortunes to be gained by the owner. If powered by love of ones self, this bead can offer a great journey.Because it is from the earth and was once organic material, petrified wood is known for its strong grounding properties and calming energies. Many Burmese and Tibetans revere these beads as prized spiritual objects that can also act as protection amulets.

Turquoise is one of the oldest protection amulets. It protects the wearer from negative energy and can bring good fortune. A very personal and meaningful stone to one who wears it, it can take on the characteristics of the owner.

Size:

7-7.25" around on stretchy cord.
