Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 type. Light brown to dark brown coloured is more common. In this type there is darker shade of 'Deep Walnut Brown'. Charcoal black coloured rudraksha are very rarely seen. I have seen deep charcoal black rudraksha in 'Cashewnut Ek Mukhi' and in higher mukhi from 10 to 14 mukhi. Mixed coloured rudraksha are also reported however are rare. In such cases, few of the clefts are of light yellow in colour, rest of the clefts are dark brown to deep walnut brown in colour. Mixed coloured rudraksha are generally shiny. Rudraksha do not have natural deep walnut brown or charcoal black colour. It is believerd that rudraksha changes its colour after constant wearing and oiling. There may be deposition of some chemical compounds due to regular oiling. Few people also claim that colour change is there due to body energy and even without oiling. It may be true since I have seen few people mentioning that they do not do any oiling for their mala (Indonesian type) still their mala changed its colour from brown to dark walnut brown. Such malas were in use for more than 10 years. Personally, I do not know any botanical material changing its colour without any external chemical factor. It is interesting. I would like to know, whether others have similar experience. Thanking you and with best wishes, Chandrashekhar Phadke Poona, India.

I may have seen a picture once of a white bead. The yellow ones seems to darken quickly to brown when worn and oiled. Can you explain from botanical knowledge why beads get different color?

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Dear Chandrashekhar Ji, Many thanks for all the info..!! How are outer fruit skin and pulp usually removed from beads? Are there different methods for doing this among the suppliers? Could this process affect color of individual beads? Thanks, Ole sacred-objects, chandrashekhar phadke <chphadke> wrote: > > Dear Ole ji, > > It is very difficult to say why Rudraksha have different colours. Unfortunately, there is no research work done on this aspect of rudraksha. I have in my collection total six colour types of rudraksha. Sandy White, light yellow, light to dark reddish brown, deep walnut brown, black and of mixed colour. > > I have not so far seen 'Snow White' rudraksha. However, I have rearely seen snow white spots on flat two mukhi rudraksha. The sandy white rudraksha are more common in Indian two and three mukhi type. This type is also rarely seen in Seven mukhi Nepal type. If you closely observe pictures of people wearing white rudraksha mala, all these malas are of sandy white three mukhi. > > Light coloured rudraksha are commonly seen, however, deep yellow type (Turmeric colour) is rare.
