A beautiful black agate Guru Bead featuring the traditional three-hole construction commonly used as the focal finishing bead in Tibetan Buddhist malas and prayer necklaces.
This piece has a deep black to smoky dark brown body with a subtle horizontal band running across the center. The lower portion shows a softer translucent brown tone, creating a natural gradient and giving the bead more depth when viewed under light.
The polished surface highlights the smooth texture and natural translucency of the agate. One side features the horizontal hole used for the two strands of a mala, while the lower channel connects into the main opening, forming the traditional three-way Guru Bead structure.
Its dark, understated color makes it very versatile and easy to pair with bodhi seed, yak bone, wood, dzi beads, agate, crystal, or other natural stone beads. It is especially suitable for custom mala making, restringing older prayer beads, meditation necklaces, or handmade Buddhist jewelry projects.
The natural stone may show slight variations in tone, translucency, banding, and internal texture. These variations are part of the character of the agate and make each bead unique.
