What are the types of bodhi seeds? An introduction to common bodhi seed varieties

Among bodhi seeds, the more common ones such as Rudraksha bodhi seeds, Star and Moon bodhi seeds, and Longan/Phoenix Eye bodhi seeds have a large number of enthusiasts. Because this type of plant-based bodhi seed changes color over time after long-term handling and wearing, more and more enthusiasts have chosen this kind of plant-based bodhi seed.

1. Rudraksha bodhi seeds

Rudraksha bodhi seeds are divided into large Rudraksha bodhi seeds and small Rudraksha bodhi seeds. Large Rudraksha bodhi seeds come as bracelets and hand-held strings, while small Rudraksha bodhi seeds are mostly strings of 108 beads. Unlike other types of bodhi seeds, Rudraksha bodhi seeds are classified by different textures, skins, and numbers of facets.

2. Star and Moon bodhi seeds

Star and Moon bodhi seeds are very beautiful in appearance, and the combination of “stars and moon” makes them even more attractive. Star and Moon bodhi seeds are divided into centered moon and off-center moon types, with the centered moon type relatively higher in price. After long-term handling, the color changes from white to yellow, and finally to purplish red, which is very beautiful.

3. Longan bodhi seeds

Longan bodhi seeds are named after the pattern on the bodhi seed. This kind of bodhi seed is uncommon and its shape is close to a perfect circle. Enthusiasts have given more meanings to Longan bodhi seeds, and legend says they have the ability to summon wind and rain.

4. Phoenix Eye bodhi seeds

Phoenix Eye bodhi seeds are named after the 2 deep lines on the bodhi seed that look like squinting eyes. Currently, Phoenix Eye bodhi seeds on the market are mostly above 12mm. The smaller the Phoenix Eye bodhi seed, the more precious it is. Phoenix Eye bodhi seeds below 10mm should now cost over ten thousand.
