Agate Misbaha — 33 Bead

Khambhat in Gujarat has cut agate for export since before the Roman trade reached it, and the stone still comes out of the same Rajpipla beds. Thirty-three beads, which is the short misbaha counted three times through, with a divider and a turned imame. Agate is banded and the banding is different in every bead, so a strand is never uniform and is not meant to be. Stone stays cool in the hand for a long time before it warms, which is the main reason people choose it over resin or wood in hot weather. Strung on braided nylon with a plain cord finish.

Apply a small amount to the pulse points — wrist, neck or behind the ear. Attars are undiluted, so one pass of the roll-on is enough; the scent opens over the first twenty minutes and settles close to the skin. For burners and incense, use in a ventilated room on a heatproof surface and never leave anything lit unattended.

External use only. Not a medicine.

Materials

Polished agate beads, braided nylon cord. Cotton pouch, card box.
