The Story
Known as "dragon’s blood" wood, the subtle but profound color comes from the dark red gum resin from the Dracaena genus of succulent shrubs. It was used by Ancient Greeks, Romans and Arabs for its medicinal properties and is thought to have been responsible for the intense color of Stradivarius violins. This resin has long been used by natives in Southeast Asia for clearing negative energy, and to instill confidence and courage.
The red wood has a subtle glow in sunlight. 108 1/4" beads plus "guru" bead.
Approximate total beaded length 34"
