Do these sandalwood beads turn more green when exposed to sun? Also, where is this mala made?

Yes, it will turn to green after expose to light, this is the property of green sandalwood.

I do not know if they would turn green. I oiled mine with sandalwood essential oil so they are now affected (darker brown) by that. You need to ask vendor.

Made in India. And no they don't turn green of exposure to sun as far as I know., they are light weight . which makes it nice to ware. They are lovely. Better made than allot of malas I have seen

They are plastic, not real wood. Real sandalwood will not turn green unless dyed. Plastic can and will change color depending on what it is exposed to.

Yes, mine are turning green from exposure to sun and water, but I rather like the change of the color, It gives it character and it isn't a particularly bright shade of green either.

Its the color of Sandal wood, a creamy golden tan. Smells like it looks and has pretty Chinese symbols pressed into it.

I have only had mine on for a few months and the chrome is starting to corrode a bit. When wiped with a damp tissue there is a green cast to it. I have only cleaned mine with pine-sol. I am now disappointed and will lower my rating. However, the finished wood is still beautiful and looks like new.

I didn't purchase either one of those colors. My choice was the cobblestone which in the picture is exactly what it is. However when I opened the box it was more of a flat gray. I still love it. It's made to be very strong. I would say that the rainwater is more towards the shade of green. Not quite mint green but along the same shades...I hope this helps.

More like teak or ipe wood. Very tight grain and ultra resilient to the elements. I live in the northeast and have them lakeside at my tiki bar. I keep them out year round so they are exposed to lots of moisture and temps from 0-100 degrees. Had them for about a year and the are starting to fade (greying). I think if I hit them with some valspar or tung oil they'll look like new.

i would say the wood is a half shade lighter than I expected. I am very please with it for shoe storage at the back entance of my home.... in my opinion it works best at an entance from outside.

Here is what the company said: We manufacture all our products in house here in Utah. We source ingredients from all over the world, so Pure Radiance C does not have one country of origin. The camu camu, for instance, is wildcrafted from the Amazon, and our acerola comes from Brazil. The rose hips come from Chile, and the black pepper from India. Should you be interested in any other individual ingredients, please let me know and I will try to find out some more information for you.

No, it doesn't have beads in it. It's smooth, and it gives your skin a very natural subtle glow.

It's actually very pale greenish in color when dry, darker after soaking. Quite large, mine is 7 inches across and about 9 inches tall; it's on a pedestal so the fronds, or what ever they're called, can hang down and cure all around it at will. It's a real conversation piece when any one sees it sitting in my kitchen window; gets plenty of north light and no sun. I love it.

I really love this product but I have no idea if the beads change, they are stone and so far I have not seen a change.

Coconut hull, very 'green' made in Canada. We will buy this again next time!

They have designated colors. They all appear the same semi-translucent off white color when not exposed, but a "yellow" bead will always turn yellow, a bead that is "red" will always appear red under UV and so on. The color will get more vibrant with an increase in the intensity of UV, but will always turn the same color it did originally. This bag has an assortment of colors.

Yeah, the beads are to keep count. It is possible to associate sandalwood with specific meanings, but its really just a soothing smell. The way i understand the cat pendant is that you can use it to mark where you stopped if you have to interrupt your meditation

The one I got last summer turned out to be taupe. I thought it was too dark but it is fine in the sun and looks good with our weathered wood deck.

Hi naturegirl, it is made on Portugal and is stainless steel on the inside. I love it!

I wouldn't recommend If going to a very warm climate. It's more aesthetically appealing than the wooden version but the colors faded and one bar sagged slightly after being left out in the heat
