Indian sandalwood is also known by the alternative name "Old Mountain Sandalwood." In recent years, exports of Indian sandalwood have been restricted, and its price has been rising year after year. This is a rare fragrant wood whose price is expected to continue to rise. This is a wooden bead bracelet, a type of prayer bead bracelet, made from natural wood with beautiful grain and color. It has the warmth unique to natural wood and quickly conforms to your wrist, making it incredibly comfortable to wear.
