7 Strands Myrrh Fragrant African Beads 40 Inches
Description
These are aromatic beads made from a natural plant resin found in Africa. While they are often referred to as "Myrrh" beads, they may not actually be made from the Myrrh plant. Myrrh is a resin obtained from the Commiphora tree species, primarily found in the Arabian Peninsula and parts of Africa.
However, there are various other aromatic resins and plant materials used to make fragrant beads and incense. Some examples include copal, frankincense, benzoin, and gum arabic. These resins are known for their pleasant scents and have been used for centuries in different cultures for spiritual, medicinal, and aromatic purposes.
The lightweight nature of the beads makes them easy to wear, providing a delightful fragrance throughout the day. These aromatic beads can be used for personal enjoyment, as natural air fresheners, or for meditation and relaxation purposes.
It's important to note that the specific type of resin used to make the beads may vary depending on the manufacturer and the region.
This strand is not intended to be a ready-to-wear necklace. Although the strand can be worn "as is," the string holding it together is not durable and may break with use. For this reason, we recommend that you restring the beads before wearing them.
Pictures are an example. Yours will be similar. Some of the necklaces are more aromatic than others -- yours may not have a strong smell.
