Guest guest Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Namaste Ramlal, Relieved to hear you also haven't seen a pitch black rudraksha :-) Because I don't think they exist.. You have a great point there, about the "black" referred to in Scriptures being or meaning: the darkest of the dark browns. For dark browns to achieve further darker shades, it is through prolonged use, oiling and passage of time when beads are passed down the line. The colors refer to rudraksha *Before* wearing or using. The 'white' variety isn't all white. Its more beigey, very light brown or something along these hues.
