Add a natural, authentic dimension to your creations with these 12 mm Rudraksha seed beads, also known as Shiva's tears.
These 12 mm natural Rudraksha beads are distinguished by their raw texture and distinctive organic relief. Derived from the seeds of the Rudraksha tree (Elaeocarpus), they are traditionally known in Hindu culture as Shiva's tears. Legend has it that Shiva shed tears during a deep meditation on the suffering of the world, giving birth to this tree with its distinctive seeds. Each bead has a unique appearance, with natural grooves called faces or "mukhis", which contribute to their authentic, hand-crafted aesthetic.
