Overview of lobular rosewood
Among the wooden beads, rosewood is the noblest material and is known as the "wood of Buddha's light". Its material resources are scarce and expensive, and it is a precious material in buddhist supplies. In Buddhist classics, rosewood is also highly respected, and there are countless related records.
It took thousands of years for rosewood to become a useful material, the essence of the sun and the moon, and a good product for balancing yin and yang. Pterocarya stenoptera has the function of avoiding evil spirits, ensuring safety, eliminating disasters and accumulating wealth, and changing feng shui to serve the Buddha to cure diseases and solve problems. According to Compendium of Materia Medica, Pterocarya stenoptera has the effects of calming the mind, relaxing muscles and tendons, promoting blood circulation, diminishing inflammation and relieving pain. Wearing rosewood ornaments can have incredible magical power and induction, such as enhancing immunity, preventing aging, stabilizing heart rate and improving insomnia.
Rosewood is not only a symbol of power, status, wealth and elegant taste, but also has a close historical relationship with Buddhism since ancient times. Tan, Sanskrit means giving alms, because its wood is firm and hard, its fragrance is eternal, its color is gorgeous and changeable, it is harmless and immortal, and it can ward off evil spirits and diseases, so it is also called holy Tan. Red sandalwood is the imperial wood, the first choice for imperial use, and is called "the king of wood" by the world. At the same time, rosewood is also known as "Shenmu", and it can ward off evil spirits and keep safe if worn for a long time. Sino-Tibetan Buddhism, the imperial court and even the people admired rosewood. The growth of rosewood is extremely slow, and a mature rosewood will grow for hundreds or even thousands of years. Because of the extremely low timber output and scarce resources, it is also called "inch sandalwood inch gold".
The role of rosewood:

So, how to choose this lobular rosewood bracelet?
First of all: look at the quality of the material.
Venus lobular rosewood is not a variety or classification of rosewood, but a feature. It is more obvious when observed under a microscope. Brown eyes and Venus can be seen at a glance, and the true and false Venus immediately shows its original shape; In appearance, we can see the arrangement of filamentous shiny yellowish substances on its surface, which are formed by sap deposited in the pores of trees, and are the combination of protein and resin of rosewood itself. The probability of its formation is small, so it is precious. But the more pleasing reason is that its surface has turned purple after years of oxidation, and the substance of Venus will become very metallic, just like a gold inlaid on the surface of red sandalwood, which is very dazzling.
Secondly:
Pterocarya microphylla grows in high altitude areas, the land is barren, and the growth cycle will become longer, so it is not unusual to become a Millennium. There are usually two views on how Venus on "Venus rosewood" is formed: one thinks that Venus in "Venus rosewood" is a mineral deposited in the pores of trees. If the groundwater where rosewood grows is rich in minerals, then it will deposit minerals in the water in the process of growth, and there will be a little Venus; The other is that the Venus in the "Venus rosewood" is the result of the decay of the wood itself, and this Venus is a combination of the decaying substance and resin of the rosewood itself.
Finally: a penny is worth a penny, and there is no good goods at a low price.
Venus rosewood is expensive in the market now. 1000 yuan can buy a full set of Venus lobular rosewood. There is no doubt that it must be a fake star.
The lobular rosewood bracelet is maintained like this.
Friends who have just come into contact with lobular rosewood usually play with their hands when they invite a bunch of lobular rosewood bracelets, especially in summer, their palms are prone to sweating, and sometimes they put lobular rosewood bracelets on their faces to rub the grease secreted on their faces. In fact, these practices are all wrong. The patina formed in this way will only be dark, even not patina, which will only affect the appearance of lobular rosewood rosary. In fact, playing with beads made of most materials is very exciting. You need to be patient enough to play and wait.
Don't wear the newly bought red sandalwood hand beads in a hurry, you need to play and maintain them before wearing them. The specific disc playing method is as follows:
(1) The first dish of beads should not be soaked or sweated. It is recommended to wear cotton gloves and rub beads for one to two weeks. After the initial dishes are cooked, there will be red marks on the cotton cloth. This is pterostilbene on lobular sandalwood, which is a normal phenomenon rather than fading.
② Place the beads in the shade for 3-5 days and let them dry naturally. At this point, the oil oozing from the surface of the beads will gradually air-dry and solidify, filling the brown eyes, and Venus will become more and more obvious.
(3) When playing again, be careful not to play directly with sweaty hands. It is best to continue playing with cotton gloves, and be sure to play around the empty mouth of the beads. You can play 1 hour a day. After a week or two, you can feel slightly rough when playing with beads. In fact, the beads have formed a thin patina.
(4) Repeat step 3, and leave it for a period of time, so that the beads are naturally dried and the patina is hardened to a certain degree. It usually takes about a week.
⑤ After repeating steps 2 and 3 for three months, you will see that the beads have a very aura luster, and the coiled beads sometimes have a strong reflection, and some are like glass luster.
About maintenance
① To buy new red sandalwood beads, in order to maintain the elegant color of the beads, you should first use a soft cloth or white gloves to set them until they no longer fade and show amber luster, and then you can play with them directly.
(2) Do not oil and wax after processing and after the finished product comes out. Good wood is oily and will naturally give out oil. Oiling and waxing will not only deepen the color of wood, but also block the "pores".
③ Beads should be kept away from alcohol and chemical solvents, because alcohol and chemical solvents can lead to camel color.
4 Wear the beads of lobular rosewood, please try to avoid collision with hard objects, which is easy to produce scars.
⑤ When not in use, don't put the rosewood objects under the window sill and tuyere, don't put them next to the heating pipe, and don't blow the air conditioner directly on the rosewood objects to prevent the beads from cracking due to direct sunlight.
