Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Dear Friends: If you've ever been concerned about small cracks in your beads, I've got some good news, which may put your minds to rest. Of course you are welcome to worry if you feel you need it. ; ) My friend, Dr. Mike Beck the plant physiologist, who is helping me discover how to grow rudraksha trees has sawed a few in half to learn where the embryo is. (if your curious, in the three mukhi--it's right smack in the middle) He has told me they are as hard as rocks. So don't fret if your bead gets a crack. These are tough little beads! Best Wishes, Ryan- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Oh, cool! Then, the seeds DID get to him! I sent them prioriy primarily because I think the good old USPS loses fewer of those bright blue and red things. <g> RIGHT in the middle of the bead is EXACTLY where DD opined that the embryo might be. (DD, there are no stringing holes in the 3s that I sent to Mike) Ryan, you GOTTA keep us current with Mike's experiments! It's SO fascinating! I wore my beads 24/7 for at least three months, after Kantiji Told us a story about trying to smash some with a hammer, to make powder for medicine. She won, but the beads put up QUITE a battle. <g> , "thestar777" <thestar777> wrote: > Dear Friends: > > If you've ever been concerned about small cracks in your beads, I've > got some good news, which may put your minds to rest.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 I will keep you updated. He is currently trying three different methods. We will be getting some other five facet seeds to try. Thank you for sending them...it is greatly appreciated. Ryan= , karisprowl <no_reply> wrote: > Oh, cool! Then, the seeds DID get to him!
