Zitan Long Strand, 6 mm Round Beads
Zitan Long Strand, 6 mm Round Beads
A long strand of 118 round beads of zitan (Pterocarpus santalinus, small-leaf red sandalwood), each about 6 mm, that can be wrapped around the wrist several times. The maker describes the wood as older stock with fine flecks.
Choosing your strand
- Matching wood: a guru bead and counter beads in the same zitan.
- Silver fittings: a silver guru piece and a silver cord clasp, on orange cord.
Like all natural wood, colour and grain vary from piece to piece; the photos show representative examples.

Material & origin
Material & origin
Each listing states the material, origin and measurements of the piece. Natural materials vary — grain, colour, flecks and markings make every piece one of a kind; they are character, not flaws.
Bead size
Bead size
Bead size is the width of one bead, in millimetres. Larger beads look bolder and feel heavier in the hand; smaller ones are lighter and quieter. Our size guide shows each size side by side.
Care & patina
Care & patina
Handle often, with clean and dry hands. Keep away from water, perfume, lotion and strong sun. Let new wood rest a day or two each week while the patina settles, and wipe with a soft cotton cloth — never oil or polish.
