16” length + 3.5” tassel – 6mm bead. Sandalwood comes from the fragrant wood of Australian Sandalwood (Santalum Spicatum), a small evergreen tree. Sandalwood beads encourage quiet focus, bring the attention inward, warm the heart and strengthen the inner self, helping us overcome vulnerability and personal challenges. This wood works with the root and sacral chakra, facilitates grounding, increases confidence and sensuality. The beads have a warm, woody smell.
