Sandalwood is considered auspicious in helping during meditation by calming and focusing the mind. The fragrance is a divine sweetness that the beads retain for many years. 

Turquoise - This bead is made of green turquoise formed around a howlite bead (known for calming properties and reducing pain brought on by stress). Turquoise strengthens and aligns your Chakras and cleanses your energy centers. As a tool for meditation, turquoise can help clear your mind, opening you to the Universe. It can help speed the healing process and is actually known as a master healer stone.

Each stone will vary in color due to nature of the way composite stones are made.
