[Pterocarpus Santalinus] Natural Indian Aged Pterocarpus Santalinus Wood Bracelet with High Oil Content, Rich Resin, Golden Stars, and Hetian Jade

**Pterocarpus Santalinus (Zitan)** This aged Indian Pterocarpus Santalinus wood, characterized by its high oil content, rich resinous feel, and abundant golden "stars," offers exquisite quality. Each piece is carefully chosen for its fine grain and superior luster, promising a remarkable transformation as it ages. **Golden Stars** During its long growth, the Pterocarpus Santalinus tree secretes a viscous resin that accumulates within its vascular tissues. Over time, this resin oxidizes, turning a golden hue. As the wood itself darkens with age, the resinous inclusions become more pronounced, creating a striking contrast with the deep purple wood. This effect resembles a brilliant starry sky, hence the evocative name "golden stars." The shimmer is particularly captivating under light. **Craftsmanship** We select aged Indian Pterocarpus Santalinus wood, prized for its high oil content, rich resinous quality, and plentiful golden "stars"—already signifying exceptional quality and texture. Paired with a natural Hetian jade bead from the Qinghai region, its cool, luminous quality and subtle fluorescence complement the Pterocarpus Santalinus wood. The pendant features a water-drop design meticulously carved with auspicious cloud motifs. The overall aesthetic of this bracelet is elegantly vintage, with a superior feel and quality. Its minimalist yet unique design ensures comfortable wear. **Specifications** Pterocarpus Santalinus round beads: 8mm Hetian Jade Qinghai round bead: 10mm Pterocarpus Santalinus water-drop pendant: 13×10mm **Care and Maintenance** Pterocarpus Santalinus requires careful handling. Avoid contact with liquids, which can diminish its natural luster. Begin by polishing with the included cotton cloth. Some initial color shedding is normal. For the first one to three months, polish for 30 minutes to an hour daily, then store in its box. Afterward, gradually reduce polishing frequency—perhaps once every three days, followed by four days of rest. Continue this process until a lustrous patina forms on the bead surface. (Hand polishing stimulates the wood to secrete oils, which then oxidize with air when left undisturbed.) Handle your Pterocarpus Santalinus with care, keeping it away from all liquids to preserve its shine. When worn, please avoid smoking or applying perfume directly onto the hand wearing the bracelet, as this can affect the wood's natural fragrance. Time and gentle care will do the rest. **Notes** A cotton polishing cloth is included with your purchase.
