[Follow Your Heart] Natural Pterocarpus Santalinus Double Wrap Bracelet with Mammoth Ivory "Doesn't Think Buddha" and Baoshan Nanhong Agate Ice-Red Beads **Product Summary** Due to its natural properties and oxidation, mammoth ivory's color, distinct tusk lines, and textures can vary. Featuring carefully selected 8mm+ round beads and spacer beads crafted from Indian Pterocarpus santalinus, chosen for its denser texture, smaller pores, and richer oil content. Complemented by intricately carved mammoth ivory spacer beads and a "Bù Xiǎng Fó" (Doesn't Think Buddha) carving from ice-grade material, one of the Four Non-Buddhas, the carving is petite, exquisite, and meticulously detailed. Adorned with natural Baoshan Nanhong agate lotus carvings, ice-red cherry-red round beads, and Nanhong agate spacer beads. Elegant and vibrant, classic and refined. The Four Non-Buddhas: Symbolizing the Buddhist principles of "Four Non-actions" – see nothing, say nothing, think nothing, hear nothing. Through cultivating detachment from seeing, speaking, thinking, and hearing, one achieves a profound state of enlightenment: seeing without looking, hearing without listening, thinking nothing, and speaking in silence. These principles help us maintain inner peace and steadfastness in a complex and ever-changing world, remaining undisturbed by external temptations or distractions, thereby better connecting with our true selves and practicing Buddhist teachings. Mammoth Ivory: As a substitute material for ivory carving in China, mammoth ivory, a remnant of prehistoric creatures, is not prohibited for trade and processing by the United Nations Convention. It is a scarce, non-renewable resource, a "white gold" eagerly stockpiled by governments worldwide. Considered a precious artifact, its rarity has led to restrictions on its extraction, earning it the reputation of an "organic gemstone!" It appears frequently in Buddhist scriptures, holding a revered and sacred status in Buddhism with symbolic meanings of warding off evil, bringing fortune, calming the spirit, and securing the home. Fragments from carving can be used medicinally to calm fright, soothe the spirit, and expel dampness and detoxify. It can also be used for beauty purposes! Pterocarpus Santalinus (Zitan): Pterocarpus Santalinus grows slowly, forming one growth ring per year, and takes eight hundred years to mature. It is also believed to ward off evil and misfortune, hence its use by royalty and for spiritual practices since ancient times. Pterocarpus Santalinus can nourish qi, enrich blood, and enhance beauty. Through handling and wear, it releases a substance known as "wood oxygen," which calms the mind and spirit, and is highly beneficial for the internal organs. Indian Pterocarpus Santalinus: Its authenticity can be verified by its scent, texture, and by soaking in water. Indian Pterocarpus Santalinus has a faint fragrance, its grain is very fine with inconspicuous growth rings, but it possesses a rich, oily luster. Its color deepens gradually over time with wear. Due to its dense texture and specific gravity greater than water, it sinks when placed in water. **Follow Your Heart** Feel every moment of life with your heart.

The Indian Pterocarpus Santalinus is purely natural, with no coloring or enhancements. The abundant santalin pigments create a richer purplish-red hue, offering a more lustrous feel and appearance, finer pores, delicate grain, and a uniform, dense texture with ample oil content and high moisture retention, making it easier to polish. Paired with meticulously hand-carved mammoth ivory ice-grade "Bù Xiǎng Fó" (Doesn't Think Buddha) and drum beads sourced from the Siberian permafrost. The craftsmanship is exquisite, with intricate details such as the spiral patterns on the Buddha's head, the texture on the lotus petals, fingers, clothing, and lotus base, all rendered with abundant detail. The feel is warm and smooth, with clear ivory grain. Complemented by natural Baoshan Nanhong agate lotus beads, which exhibit both opaque and translucent qualities with halo color effects. The colorful sections range from a vibrant, fresh persimmon red, paired with ice-red cherry-red round beads and平安环 (peace rings). These beads are translucent and lustrous, with a soft pinkish hue containing fine, uniform cinnabar lines and dots. Nanhong agate spacer beads are also included, with a purple base and semi-translucent sections.

All main and accessory materials are natural, with no impurities, added colors, or injections. If any materials require reprocessing for product matching, it will be specifically noted. Some Pterocarpus Santalinus may appear brighter and reddish, while others are blackish-red or dark red; these are natural phenomena. This is due to the oxidation reaction between the santalin pigments and the air, which is more apparent in sunlight. The richer the santalin pigments, the more the color will tend towards a dark red or blackish-red. However, the product will still maintain its luster, brightness, and smoothness, and the inherent grain will not change. This is a testament to the excellent quality of the material. This product is handmade, so there may be traces of handcrafting on the cord. We will do our best to avoid them where possible, but for safety and durability, some minor marks may be present. We will endeavor to place them in inconspicuous areas or conceal them. All products in our store are photographed in kind, with one item per picture. Professional photography equipment and natural daylight are used to ensure the most accurate representation of the product's true color. However, due to variations in light brightness, time of day, viewer's display, and environment, slight deviations may occur. If you have any questions, please consult customer service for multi-angle photos of the product. **Pterocarpus Santalinus (Zitan) Care** 1. After purchasing a Pterocarpus Santalinus bracelet, proper handling is essential to preserve its value. 2. When wearing and maintaining daily, avoid waxing or oiling, as Pterocarpus Santalinus wood is naturally oily; its own oils are sufficient. 3. Pterocarpus Santalinus is sensitive to water; remove your bracelet when washing hands or showering. Additionally, keep your Zitan bracelet away from dusty or dirty environments to prevent contamination and preserve its natural aroma. 4. Pterocarpus Santalinus dissolves easily in alcohol, so keep it away from alcohol-based substances or corrosive chemicals such as gasoline or disinfectants, as they can damage the wood. 5. Although Pterocarpus Santalinus is hard, avoid contact with hard jewelry, as it is still wood. Be mindful during wear to minimize contact with sharp objects to prevent scratches. Avoid high temperatures, especially fire. 6. If it gets dirty, rinse with clean water and dry, or wipe clean with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid using cleaning agents, as acidic or alkaline detergents may corrode the Pterocarpus Santalinus bracelet. 7. When not wearing your Pterocarpus Santalinus prayer bead bracelet, store it sealed in a cool, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, which can cause moisture loss and cracking. It is best to store it in a pure cotton cloth or a sealed bag. **Mammoth Ivory Care Points** Mammoth ivory carvings require attention to cleaning. Use a clean, soft brush to remove dust. Regular wear is the best form of care. Avoid using water, soap, or hand sanitizer for cleaning, and do not wear this jewelry while bathing or visiting hot springs. Prevent the ivory from coming into contact with irritating liquids like detergent. Avoid wearing it in environments with extreme temperature fluctuations, as mammoth ivory is sensitive to temperature and humidity; ensure adequate moisture. Avoid dropping or damaging the jewelry. In summary: protect from freezing, wind, dryness, water, sweat, falls, and chemical agents. If stored for a long period, apply a layer of maintenance oil evenly to the mammoth ivory product, place it in a sealed bag, and store it in a cool place.
